What is a Demat Account?

Think of it like a bank account, but instead of keeping cash it keeps investments. Stocks, ETFs, bonds , and mutual fund units sit in your Demat account once you buy them. No messy paperwork, no physical certificates, just a clean digital trail of what you own.  

 

In India, you cannot buy or sell shares on the NSE or BSE without one. This is a regulatory thing. Every trade you place on an exchange needs settlement via a Demat account linked to a SEBI registered depository (NSDL or CDSL).

 

A Demat account works alongside a trading account too. The trading account is for placing orders, the Demat account is where the securities actually land. With Bajaj Broking, you get both under one login.
