How to choose the right Demat account?

by Pankhudi Dave Head Finance Manager
You should build your financial assets for you to become financially independent; this can be anything from shares, mutual funds, stocks, IPOs, debentures, gold, etc. For an extensive duration, you must remain invested in a specific financial asset(s).
However, proper financial planning is necessary to accomplish this. To produce the full yield from your investment, you need to bear a bit of risk as well as protect yourself. For investing in the stock market, you need a Demat account.

With your Demat account, you should not settle for mediocrity. But, choose the best alternative, which involves preparation with some homework and precision. You have to pick a depository that would be better suited for you to trade in the share exchanges to open a Demat account. Consequently, to start your journey in investing shares, you have to choose the best Demat account for trading.

For the purchase or selling of shares, you must open a Demat account. As per SEBI, the Securities and Exchange Board of India needs a Demat account to be set up by any person who intends to invest through the purchase or sale of shares either electronically or through physical share certificates through the stock exchanges. If you do not have a valid Demat account, you cannot trade in shares.

There are several banks and financial institutions that provide an investor with the ability to open a bank account. Some private brokers provide new investors assistance. However, one has to decide on the best for the intent of their investment.

The first move should be the easiest, which is that the formality of account opening should be incredibly easy for you.

SEBI has directed a comprehensive procedure to open Demat account that must be followed by the DP Deposit Participant(s). Also, to a great extent, DPs can further simplify this method.

For example, via the e-KYC system, the best Demat account in India that is convenient for the investor can be opened, in which using the Aadhar data of the investor, the entire authentication process is done.

This e-KYC approach is an online process, and the investor only needs to do a final self-identification either through a physical check in-person verification or through a video camera. However, trading must take place less than two days after the opening of the account. Whereas if an account is opened in a physical form, the exchange will take less than five days to complete.

Also, SEBI has mandated every DP to provide the Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA) to investors, which promises to provide retail investors with limited services at reduced costs. It provides an opportunity for an online Demat account facility—necessary services.
