How do I buy Bormah Jan Tea Company (1936) unlisted shares here?

Raise an enquiry on any company with the quantity you want. Our desk sources the shares and comes back with a firm price and allocation. You accept the allocation, transfer the funds to the desk's published bank account, and once we verify payment the shares are transferred into your demat.

Who am I actually transacting with?

You transact with the desk, not with an anonymous counterparty. When you buy, you buy from the desk; when you sell, you sell to the desk. Shares always route through the desk's own demat account, so there's one accountable party for the whole trade.

How do I pay, and is there a payment gateway?

Payment is by direct bank transfer to Prospire Network Private Limited's published account (CIN U82300UP2025PTC233622), shown to you in-app at the payment step.

How long does settlement take?

After you accept an allocation, you have a short window to pay (typically 2 days). Once payment is verified, shares are usually credited to your demat within 2–3 business days, subject to depository timelines and any company-level restrictions. Timeframes are typical, not guaranteed.

There are no separate platform fee lines and no GST on the transfer — the desk's margin is built into the buy/sell price you're quoted. The only statutory add-on on a purchase is stamp duty on the consideration, shown transparently in your cost breakdown.

Is there a minimum ticket size for Bormah Jan Tea Company (1936)?

Minimums vary by company and depend on the lot the desk can source. Raise an enquiry and the desk will confirm the available quantity and the minimum for that name.

What KYC do I need, and do I need a demat account?

You'll share your demat details when you enquire so we can settle directly. Full KYC — PAN and a client-master / demat statement — is required before the transfer step, when shares actually change hands. Yes, you need an active demat account to hold unlisted shares.

Are there lock-ins on unlisted or pre-IPO shares?

Some shares carry statutory or company-imposed lock-ins — for example, a post-listing lock-in on pre-IPO stock — and transfers can be subject to the company's articles or approvals. Where a lock-in applies, we'll flag it before you commit.

How do I sell Bormah Jan Tea Company (1936) shares I already hold?

Raise a sell enquiry with the company, quantity and your target price. The desk confirms a buying price, you transfer your shares into the desk's demat, and once the credit is verified we pay you out by bank transfer to your registered account. The desk never pays out before your shares are received.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Bormah Jan Tea Company (1936)

The Bormah Jan Tea (1936) Limited is one of India's oldest tea companies, incorporated in 1936 in West Bengal with its corporate registration predating Indian independence. The company is registered at 3, Netaji Subhash Road, Kolkata — the prestigious commercial street in the heart of Kolkata that houses many of India's legacy tea trading companies, reflecting the city's historical role as the hub of the Indian tea trade. The company operates two tea gardens in Assam: Bormahjan Tea Garden and Ouphulia Tea Garden. Assam's tea gardens are among the world's most productive, contributing over 55% of India's total tea production. The Bormahjan and Ouphulia gardens, being Assam CTC producers, serve the mainstream domestic and blended tea markets. Assam teas are known for their malty, full-bodied character — the backbone of most British blended teas and Indian chai. The company has an official website (bormahjantea.com) indicating active brand presence. The board of directors includes the Bajoria family — Dhruv Bajoria, Mudit Bajoria, and Bharat Bajoria — alongside Puja Parik, Sudarsan Das, Namrata Bhartia, and Jayanta Majumder. The Bajoria family is a prominent Kolkata-based Marwari business family with interests across multiple sectors. Bharat Bajoria also serves as a director at Teesta Valley Tea Co Ltd (another heritage tea company), suggesting the Bajoria family's active involvement in the Indian tea sector. The company's last AGM was held on 26 December 2023 with the balance sheet filed for the year ending March 2023, confirming current active operations. As a 90-year-old tea company with two Assam gardens and institutional Bajoria family management, Bormah Jan Tea represents a stable legacy player in India's tea value chain. The company benefits from Assam's established auction infrastructure at the Guwahati and Kolkata Tea Auction Centres.
