What is the difference between a broker sub-account and a direct CDC account?

A broker sub-account is maintained with an SECP-licensed TREC holder for daily buying and selling of securities. A direct CDC Investor Account is maintained directly with the Central Depository Company of Pakistan, ensuring maximum asset protection and custody independent of any broker. Getsaz helps clients establish the ideal dual architecture.

Can overseas Pakistanis open an investment account remotely?

Yes, 100% remotely. Non-resident Pakistanis with valid NICOP/POC can onboard either through the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) portfolio investment rail or via a Special Convertible Rupee Account (SCRA). Getsaz handles consular notarization verification, bank liaison, and digital verification.

How long does CDS eligibility take for an unlisted public or private company?

Typically 2 to 3 weeks once all shareholder records and audited statements are aligned. Under SECP Companies Act mandates, unlisted companies must convert physical shares into book-entry securities. Getsaz accelerates this by managing both the CDC eligibility filing and the appointed share registrar synchronization concurrently.

Is Getsaz a stockbroker or an asset manager?

No. Getsaz is an independent regulatory advisory and corporate services consultancy. We do not accept client investment deposits, trade on clients' behalf, or manage portfolios. Our objective role is eliminating administrative, legal, and operational delays in getting your corporate entity or portfolio properly onboarded.

What happens if our company documents have discrepancies in SECP records?

Our initial Pre-Audit specifically identifies discrepancies between your Form A/29, registered address, or paid-up capital and the CRO repository. If rectifications or statutory filings are needed, our paralegal team drafts the remedial filings to achieve perfect synchronization before depository application.

Are government and CDC fees included in the Getsaz package price?

No. In adherence with professional financial standards, all statutory CDC induction fees, SECP filing challans, and share registrar service retainers are paid directly at actuals by the client entity. Getsaz fees cover professional advisory, preparation, coordination, and rapid execution.
