Demat account

What is a Demat account?

A demat account is an electronic ledger that always you to hold securities, ETF’s, Bonds, Mutual Funds, and other instruments. Currently, most people hold their shares in an electronic format in their Demat account for safety, convenience, and ease of transaction purposes.

A Demat account is similar to a bank account in that a bank account allows you to store your money in an electronic forum and a Demat account allows you to hold multiple securities in an electronic (dematerialized) form.

Types of Demat accounts?

Individual Demat account- This account is the most common Demat account and is for local Indian citizens who are opening an account just for themselves.

Joint Demat account- This type of account allows up to 3 people to jointly open a single Demat account and have joint rights on the account. However, transaction notifications will be only sent to the first holder. Hence, would suggest making the first holder the person who will ideally handle the operation of the Demat account.
