The process of transferring your physical shares to demat is two-fold. To dematerialise your shares, you will first have to open a demat account with your chosen depository participant. Once this is done, you simply have to fill a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) and share it with your DP along with your physical shares. Upon the process of your request, your physical shares will be destroyed, and your account will be credited with the electronic shares.
