Demat Account
A Dematerialized (Demat) account is an electronic account used to store shares, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other securities in digital form. It eliminates the need for physical share certificates, making trading more efficient and secure. The Demat account is linked to a bank account, allowing for seamless transfer of dividends. It is essential for trading or investing in assets that involve delivery, meaning the securities are held overnight or longer. This type of account is mandatory for anyone looking to trade in the stock market or invest in securities.
