NISM Series II-A (RTA Corporate) study guide

NISM-Series-II-A, commonly called RTA – Corporate, is the NISM certification examination for Registrars to an Issue and Share Transfer Agents working with corporate securities. NISM, the National Institute of Securities Markets, is a public trust established in 2006 by SEBI, the regulator of the securities markets in India, and it publishes this examination under its Registrar & Transfer Agents certification category alongside the parallel NISM-Series-II-B RTA – Mutual Fund paper. The Corporate variant is aimed at professionals handling registrar and transfer agent work for corporate issuances and listed company securities rather than mutual fund folios: share allotment and refunds, register maintenance, transfers and transmissions, dematerialisation, investor grievances, and the compliance and record-keeping obligations that go with acting as an RTA. Candidates typically include RTA operations staff, compliance officers, company secretarial and back-office teams, and new entrants to securities operations. NISM also offers a separate RTA – Corporate CPE/eCPE programme for holders maintaining continuing professional education.
