Introduction

A trading account is essential for individuals looking to buy and sell securities in the stock market. To open a trading account, investors need to provide specific documents to verify their identity, address, financial status, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The documentation process ensures transparency and security in financial transactions. This article outlines the key documents required for opening a trading account.

    To authenticate the applicant’s signature, brokerage firms may ask for:

    • A scanned or physical copy of the signature on a white sheet
    • Signature proof from a bank
  7. KYC and Other Compliance Documents

    As per regulatory guidelines, applicants need to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) formalities, which include:
