0:00 / 0:00

A trading account helps in placing buy and sell orders in the share market. A stockbroker provides a trading account. Such an account is linked to a bank account through which money can be added to the trading account to buy or sell securities. The Trading account acts as a link between the investors’ bank and the Demat account.

How does a Trading Account work

Trading Account is linked with the Demat Account and Bank Account. An investor can add money from their Bank Account to start the trading. When an investor places an order, and once the order gets executed, the shares get credited in his/her Demat Account on T+2 days, where T is the day of the transaction. Similarly, if investors sell off their shares, then shares are debited from his/her Demat A/c.

  3. Margin Trading Account: In this account, an investor can take the advantage of the borrowed funds from the stockbrokers. The Investor funds the trade partially, and the broker funds the remaining against which it charges an interest. This facility is known as Margin Trading Facility (MTF), for which you need a margin trading account.
