If you have purchased shares or carried out research about any company’s stock, you must have noticed a unique number assigned to each share. This unique alphanumeric code consists of 12 digits and is used to help identify the stocks.
Each security, whether it's an equity share, bond, or mutual fund, domestic or global, has a unique identifier that we call ISIN. In this blog, we will understand its meaning, decode its format and explore the purpose it serves in the world of finance.
ISIN stands for International Securities Identification Number. It is a 12-character alphanumeric code that internationally identifies financial instruments. It is allocated by the National Numbering Agency (NNA) of the respective country.
In India, the agency responsible for allocating ISIN to financial securities is National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Since more than 200 countries follow this numbering system, you can identify securities traded on 100+ exchanges using ISIN.
Here’s an ISIN of a hypothetical company, ABC Limited, headquartered in India:
IN E123456XY 7
There are 3 elements to this 12-digit ISIN code:
Now that you know what is ISIN and its format, let’s understand how you can find out the unique code of each stock.
There are three ways you can search for the ISIN of a particular stock - via NSDL, NSE, or BSE’s website. Here’s how you can do it.
Step 1: Visit NSE’s official website.
Step 2: Type the company name in the search bar and hit enter.
Step 3: Navigate to the ‘ISIN Details’ tab to get the ISIN of the particular stock.
Step 1: Visit NSDL’s official website.
Step 2: Click on ‘Advanced Search’ and then ‘Company Search’.
Step 3: Then click on ‘Detailed Search’.
Step 4: Enter the name of the company and hit the ‘Search’ button to get ISIN.
Step 1: Visit BSE’s official website.
Step 2: Type the company name in the search bar and hit enter.
Step 3: The ISIN of the stock will appear on top, next to the company’s name.
With the help of ISIN, tracking securities becomes super convenient; not just in the domestic market but also internationally. This unique 12-digit code not only helps in identifying securities accurately but also provides transparency in the market. Even for filing the tax return, the ISIN of the scripts you traded in is required. So next time you invest in any financial instrument, make sure to check and keep track of the ISIN codes associated with your investments.
