What is a Demat Account?

Our Learning Centre

img

A Demat account (or dematerialised account) is an online account that stores financial securities in an electronic format. Rather than holding paper share certificates, investors and traders are able to hold stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other financial instruments in one secure location. This not only makes trading much easier, but also eliminates the headaches of theft, loss, or destruction of documents.

A Demat account automatically records all transactions - no matter if you buy or sell - and provides you with an up-to-date view of your holdings. Demat accounts are now required for anyone interested in investing in the Indian stock market, as they simplify the investment process, keep you compliant with regulations, and streamline corporate actions like dividend payments and issuance of bonus shares.

With the rise in retail participation in capital markets, Demat accounts have become the gateway to smart investing, offering convenience, speed, and security—all in one place.

Key Benefits of Opening a Demat Account with Bajaj Broking

Types of Demat Accounts

There are different types of Demat accounts in India, each designed for a specific investor profile and use case.

1.  Regular Demat Account: This is used by India's resident investors who want to buy or trade equities or any other financial products. It is suitable for long-term holding and active trading, and generally there is a yearly maintenance fee unless the fee is waived off under some specially designed plan like BSDA (Basic Services Demat Account).

2. Repatriable Demat Account: This is used by Non-resident Indians (NRIs) who want the means to move their investment income out of India if they choose to do so. It must be linked with an NRE (Non-Resident External) bank account and is approved under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS). This type of account allows both investment in Indian securities and repatriation of funds.

3. Non-Repatriable Demat Account: Also designed for NRIs, this account is linked to an NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) account. It enables NRIs to invest in Indian securities, but without the option to transfer funds abroad. It’s suitable for those who want to invest earnings sourced within India.

4. Minor Demat Account: This account is opened in the name of a minor and operated by a legal guardian until the child turns 18. It’s typically used for gifting securities or starting investments early.

5. HUF Demat Account: Designed for Hindu Undivided Families, this account is managed by the head of the family (Karta). It allows investments under the HUF entity rather than individual names.

6. Corporate or Institutional Demat Account: Used by companies, LLPs, and partnership firms for holding and trading securities under their business name. These accounts come with additional documentation and regulatory requirements.

Choosing the right type of Demat account ensures better control over investments and compliance with regulatory norms, especially for NRIs and organisations.

How to Keep Your Demat Account Secure

Protecting your Demat account is crucial. Here’s how:

  • Use strong, unique passwords and update them regularly

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

  • Avoid logging in from public Wi-Fi or shared computers

  • Monitor your account and transaction history frequently

  • Use SEBI’s SCORES platform to report any irregularities

Practising these habits helps reduce risk and ensures safe trading.

What to Check Before Opening a Demat Account

Make informed choices by evaluating:

  • Broker Credibility –  Check ratings, reviews, and experience

  • Platform Security –  Look for encryption and secure login methods

  • Support Quality –  Ensure timely customer assistance is available

  • Hidden Costs –  Review AMC and transaction fees carefully

  • Ease of Use –  Choose a platform that’s intuitive and mobile-friendly

Goal Alignment –  Make sure the broker supports your investment goals

Common Demat Account Terms Explained

Understanding a few key terms can make managing your Demat account much easier. Here’s a breakdown of the most important ones:

  • ISIN (International Securities Identification Number): Every security (such as a stock or bond) listed in your Demat account comes with a unique 12-digit ISIN code. This helps identify and track the security during trading and settlement.

  • DP (Depository Participant): Your Demat account is not directly held with NSDL or CDSL (the main depositories in India), but through an authorised intermediary called a Depository Participant. Bajaj Broking is one such SEBI-registered DP that facilitates account operations for investors.

  • Dematerialisation: This is the process of converting physical share certificates into a digital format. Once dematerialised, the shares are stored electronically in your Demat account and are ready for online trading.

  • Rematerialisation: The opposite of dematerialisation, this refers to converting digital securities back into physical certificates. Though rarely used today, it’s still an option if needed.

  • BOID (Beneficial Owner Identification Number): This is your unique 16-digit Demat account number. The first 8 digits represent the DP ID (Depository Participant), and the next 8 are your client ID. You’ll need this number to receive shares or apply for IPOs.

  • DP Charges: These fees are charged as part of your Depository Participant service for tasks such as safekeeping the securities, checking the balance amounts, doing debits and credits of securities, and issuing transaction statements. DP charges may be applied transaction-wise or periodically.

  • AMC (Annual Maintenance Charge): This is your annual fee charged for maintaining a Demat account. Some brokers may charge a fee for the first year of account opening or waive the AMC if you opt for a certain subscription.

  • Nomination: You can nominate a person for your account. If the account holder passes away, the securities would be transferred to the nominee without needing to go through any legal changes.

  • Pledge: You can set aside the securities owned in your Demat account to use as a pledge as collateral to take a loan or margin funding. This process still allows the shares to reside in the Demat account, but the shares would be flagged as being pledged until the loan is paid.

  • Transaction Statement:
    A periodic report produced by your DP that shows all credit, debit, and holding information in your Demat account. This is useful for tracking every investment movement.

Security and SEBI Guidance

Your Bajaj Broking’s Demat account has precautionary measures to ensure your safety and security, simultaneously complying with all SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) guidelines. Advanced precautions have been put in place, including two-factor authentication, end-to-end encryption, and a secure login system to prevent unauthorized access to your Demat account.

Bajaj Broking is a SEBI registered intermediary, which is further regulated by SEBI, so they can protect the investors. Should you have any issues or complaints, you can raise your concerns through SEBI's official SCORES platform found here — https://scores.sebi.gov.in

In addition to using the safety measures that Bajaj Broking has put in place, using best practices with your personal security, such as passwords, logging out, and using a private network instead of public networks, will help keep your investments secure.
