A Demat account lets you hold shares and securities in electronic form instead of physical certificates. It stores your stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, government securities, and IPO allotments digitally in one place. In India, a Demat account is mandatory to buy or sell shares on stock exchanges — it makes transactions faster and paperless and removes the risk of losing physical certificates.
