Managing your finances such as equity or debt can be a hassle, given the tasks you perform every day. Thankfully the Depository Act of 1996 has made it easier for everyone to manage their financial securities in a few clicks. Instead of receiving physical copies of shares or other securities, a demat account helps you to leverage the benefits of an online trading platform where you hold your financial security on a standardised electronic system.

A Demat Account Can Hold The Following Range Of Securities:


  • Shares
  • Stocks
  • E-gold
  • Bonds
  • Government securities
  • IPOs
  • Exchange-traded funds
  • Non-Convertible debentures
  • Mutual funds traded on the stock exchange
