How to Link Demat Account With Aadhar?

Online investing in stock markets is a systematic process, and individuals need to follow certain statutory steps. One of these is Aadhar-Demat account linking. Aadhaar, a 12-digit unique identification number, helps verify an individual's identity and avoids the risk of fraudsters, money launderers and criminals in the financial market. 

Aadhaar is a valid ID for proof of identity and address in India. Moreover, it is a must-have document for income tax return filings. Read ahead to learn the online process for linking Aadhaar to Demat accounts.

Steps to Link Aadhaar Number With Your Demat Account

An easy way to do this is directly through your depository's website (NSDL or CDSL). Here are the typical steps involved:

  1. Visit your depository's official website and find the Aadhaar linking option.

  2. After reading the on-screen guidelines, click the "Get Started" button to begin the process.

  3. Enter your Demat account details, which include your Client ID and Depository Participant (DP) ID.

  4. You will then need to input your PAN details and the captcha code for verification.

  5. An OTP (One-Time Password) will be sent to your mobile; enter it to proceed.

  6. Your Demat details will be displayed. Verify that they are correct before clicking "Proceed".

  7. Now, enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number along with your date of birth as recorded.

  8. Enter the final OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and click "Submit" to finish. 

Documents You Need to Keep Handy During Online Linking

The linking process is entirely online; just keep these details ready.

  • Aadhaar Card

  • PAN Card

  • Demat Account number

  • Client ID and Depository Participant’s (DP’s) ID

You should keep your registered mobile number to receive the OTP (One-Time Password). Ensure that your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar.

Advantages of Linking Your Aadhaar Number to Your Demat Account

This linking process is required, but it does have some clear benefits for the whole market ecosystem.

  • Your e-KYC approval goes quickly and smoothly because your verified Aadhaar information is used to check it.

  • It makes the market more open and helps stop fraud, which makes it easier for SEBI to keep an eye on financial activities.

  • Linking is a rule that keeps your account from being deactivated, so you can keep trading without any problems.

  • You can access trading in segments like Futures and Options with more ease and without any tedious, repetitive documentation.

How to Know If Your Aadhaar Has Been Linked with Your Demat Account? 

  • You can find out the status by going to the website of your depository (NSDL/CDSL).

  • Most of the time, your stockbroker's platform or app will also show you the linking status.

  • After a successful linking, you should get a text message or email confirmation.
