Introduction to Demat Account
A demat account, short for Dematerialized Account is an electronic platform that holds your financial products like shares, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs in electronic form. Think of it as a secure digital locker for your investments.
When you buy stocks, they are added to your Demat account, and when you sell, they are debited from it. For a smoother trading experience, you can opt for a 3-in-1 account, which integrates your Demat, trading, and bank accounts, or choose a standalone Demat account.
