**DEMAT ACCOUNT**
In Indiaโs banking terminology, the term DEMAT Account refers to a deposit made at an Indian financial institution that can be used for investing in shares of stocks and other financial assets. Securities are held electronically in a DEMAT Account, thereby eliminating the need for physical paper certificates.
**Benefits of Demat A/c**
โข It is an easy and convenient mode to hold securities with reduced brokerage fee
โข The risks of misplacing the physical certificates or that of thefts, fake securities or time delays are reduced since Demat accounts are electronic as opposed to the old paper based system
โข There is no stamp duty involved in transferring of securities since they are being held in electronic form
โข Since the Depositary Participants are enlisted by either National Securities Depository Limited or Central Securities Depository Limited and are core-linked, any change made with a Depositary Participant is updated with the Depository as well as other Depository Participants.
โข There are no restrictions on transactions. As a Demat account holder, one can sell or buy even a single share, which is not possible if the securities are in physical form. This is because; physical shares are stacked together collectively whereas Demat shares are easily divisible electronically. This is akin to being able to pay a single paisa online via net banking despite not having a physical one paisa coin with you.
**Documents required are:**
- Pan card
- Address proof (Light Bill, Telephone Bill, Voter ID)
- ITR
- Passport size photos
- Bank statement and details.
In short all KYC documents are required.
Thanks & Regards,
