The depository participant has the KYC requirement list. Your client has the business. What's missing is 18 notarised and apostilled documents from a foreign country — and no clear path to getting them right the first time.
A Delaware company's board resolution must be apostilled by the Delaware Secretary of State — not the US federal government. Most generalist agents don't know this difference. The DP does.
The bank statement must be less than 4 weeks old at the time of DP submission — not at the time of apostille. By the time the apostille arrives from the US, the statement is already expired. Your client has to start again.
The director's middle name appears on the passport but not the board resolution. Or vice versa. The DP's KYC system flags it. The mandate stalls. Your client asks questions you don't have good answers to yet.
These aren't rare edge cases. They happen on the majority of first-time foreign company demat mandates when the apostille is handled by a generalist agent or done in-house without a compliance review step. We see the rejection reports. We know exactly where each corridor fails.

Gunjan Sandu, CS, LLB — COO, GetNotary.in
Practicing Company Secretary. Reviews every demat mandate before we begin — not as a formality, but because the compliance sequence is the product.
"We had a US client who had been waiting 11 weeks for demat. Two agents had tried. When GetNotary reviewed the document set, they found three issues in the first 10 minutes — none of which the previous agents had flagged."
