What is a Demat Account?
A dematerialised (demat for short)
account allows you to hold your financial instruments in an electronic form. It
provides an easy and convenient way to hold financial securities in electronic
form which is safer than physical shares which are exposed to various risks
such as bad delivery, delays, thefts, forgery etc. You can hold certificates of
all your financial instruments such as mutual
funds , Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs),
shares and bonds online. To invest in the stock market, as an investor, you
need a demat
account.
With the Demat account, there is a
significant reduction in cost due to lower printing and distribution and
registration of shares which improved the efficiency of registrars and transfer
agents. The Demat account has increased the liquidity of shares and ensures
faster communication to investors with faster payment in the selling of shares.
