How can i become a share holder of a company?

You are a shareholder if you own at least one share of the company's stock. That's all there is to it.

You become a shareholder by buying stock in the company.

It is presumed that the company is a listed one on a recognised stock exchange.
STAGE 1 ::
A demat account is to be opened with a Company / Bank / Stock broking firm. Normal criteria ---
@@ PAN CARD / ADDRESS PROOF / BANK ACCOUNT PROOF
A demat account will be opened by the agency. Demat accounts are opened, linked to NSDL or CSDL, but both are same and have little difference. A demat account number is provided.
STAGE 2 ::
Then a trading account is to be opened with a stock broking firm. (Most of the stock broking firms maintain the demat accounts also, several with nominal charges or free also). Apart from the above quoted criteria@@, the demat account number is to be provided. They will open a trading account and a trading account number will be given. On funding the trading account, the stock broking firm will purchase shares of any listed company on a recognised stock exchange viz., NSE / BSE / Any other regional stock exchange, as per the availability. The shares thus purchased will be credited to the trading account first and then as per request or at the year-end, transferred to the demat account. Thus, you are a share holder of that particular company. You are eligible for Dividends / Bonus shares or any other eligible benefits as announced by the company, from the date of purchase of shares.
** You can also get the shares in the name of others transferred to the your demat account, by submitting the delivery note to their / your demat agency.
** You can buy thro' IPO route also and then a demat account is enough. But to sell you need a trading account. A few banks / stock broking firms provide online application facility.
** You can acquire shares in physical form which is preferred by very few. But you are eligible for any benefits, as above, only on becoming a share holder, ie., shares getting transferred into your name. The share certificates with transfer deed duly filled in and stamped (available with share broking firms / brokers), to be submitted to the respective company, for transfer.
YOU CAN ACQUIRE SHARES OF UNLISTED COMPANIES
ONLY AS A PROMOTER OR THROUGH PROMOTERS' QUOTA OR ON TRANSFER FROM THE PRESENT HOLDERS.

Some companies have employee-investment plans where you can have shares purchased out of your paycheck. If your employer doesn't do that, then set up an account with an online or brick and mortar broker and buy the stock on the market. Be aware of brokerage fees, trading fees and other expenses if you opt for opening a stock account. Some require minimum deposits and can be quite expensive. DRIPS are another good way to start.
