Demat Account Explained
A Demat Account is used to hold stocks and
investments digitally, making online trading
simple and secure. It keeps shares, bonds, and
mutual funds in one place, reducing the risk of
fraud or loss. Introduced in 1996, it helped
digitize India's stock market. Earlier, opening a
Demat account took days, but now it can be done
online in just 5 minutes.

Dematerialization

• Dematerialization converts physical share
  certificates into digital form, making them easy
  to manage and access from anywhere. To trade
  online, investors must open a Demat account with
  a Depository Participant (DP).
• This process eliminates physical certificates,
  speeding up transactions and ensuring security.
  To convert shares, submit your certificates along
  with a Dematerialization Request Form (DRF),
  marking them as "Surrendered for
  Dematerialization". Once processed, you'll
  receive an acceptance slip.
