Demat Account

INTRODUCTION :
The word ‘Demat’ is the colloquial short word for ‘Dematerialized account’ which is a type of an
account where shares and securities are held electronically to enable trading transaction &
settlements in a stock exchange, thereby eliminating the need of a physical financial instrument.
Informative Report Of Demat Account will be given in this project
It was in the year 1996 when it was first introduced in India after the introduction of the
depository system by the Depository Act of 1996. It is mandatory for one to own a demat
account with an investment broker linked to a savings or other funded account if he/she wants to
participate in the stock market trading.
The interested candidate needs to approach a Depository Participant (DP) which acts
as intermediaries between the trader/investor and the depository. A DP will be registered with
the Central Depository Services Ltd. (CDSL) and the National Securities Depository Ltd.
(NSDL) of the country.
The DPs are basically the stockbroking firm, bank or sub-broker etc, with whom one needs to get
registered, which needs some identity proofs and other documents for verification and on its
completion provides the trader with login credentials and transaction passwords upon whose
confirmation the transfers or purchases of shares can then be initiated.
One can operate the transaction of buying/selling of shares by own or through broker personally
or online from their demat account. The broker then provides the candidate with transaction
password to carry out the share trading processes. It is possible for a person to hold more than
one demat accounts.
Share trading using demat account involves inward and outward brokerage, which varies from
broker to broker and on trading style whether intraday or delivery.
