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?

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 Travancore Rubber and Tea?

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 Travancore Rubber and Tea shares I already hold?

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 Travancore Rubber and Tea

Travancore Rubber And Tea Co. Ltd. is a venerable Kerala plantation company incorporated on July 1, 1944 in Thiruvananthapuram (formerly Trivandrum). Registered with the Registrar of Companies, RoC-Ernakulam, the company's registered address is at TC 17/3748, Sri Ram Vihar VBGRA-10, Veera Bhadra Gardens Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala - 695004. The company is primarily engaged in plantation activities including rubber cultivation and tea growing in Kerala's Western Ghats plantation zones. The name 'Travancore' reflects its origin in the historic Kingdom of Travancore, which covered much of present-day southern Kerala — a region that has been at the heart of India's rubber and plantation economy since the 19th century. Natural rubber cultivation in Kerala dates to the late 1800s when Hevea brasiliensis seedlings were first introduced from Brazil via Kew Gardens in London. Today, Kerala accounts for roughly 80% of India's total natural rubber production. Travancore Rubber And Tea has been part of this plantation legacy for 80+ years, operating within Kerala's well-established rubber processing and marketing ecosystem. The company has an authorised share capital of Rs 1 crore and paid-up capital of Rs 41 lakh. Its operating revenue range for FY2023 was Rs 1-100 crore, indicating a small to mid-scale operation. The company has 6 directors including Bama Ramakrishnan and Ramakrishnan Veena. Its last AGM was held on September 29, 2023, and it remains an active company with regular filings. Kerala's plantation sector faces structural challenges including land ceiling constraints, labour cost pressures, and competition from Southeast Asian rubber. However, demand for Indian natural rubber from domestic tyre manufacturers and industrial rubber goods producers continues to support prices. For tea, Kerala's high-altitude estates in Wayanad and Munnar produce specialty teas that command premium prices in export markets.
