How to Start Investing in the Share Market with Small Amounts

For many people, the idea of investing in the stock market feels exciting… until they think they need a lot of money to start. The truth? You can begin your investment journey with just a few hundred rupees.

As a SEBI-registered stock broker in Chandigarh, we’ve helped countless first-time investors take their first step into the share market—often starting small and growing big over time. Here’s how you can do the same.

1. Understand the Basics

A share (or stock) is simply a piece of ownership in a company. When you buy a share, you’re buying a small part of that company’s value and future profits.

You can earn from shares in two ways:

Dividends – Profit the company shares with its shareholders.

Capital growth – Selling the share at a higher price than you bought it.

Knowing these basics will help you invest confidently instead of following random tips.

2. Open a Demat & Trading Account

To buy and sell shares in India, you need:

Demat Account – Stores your shares in digital form.

Trading Account – The platform to place buy/sell orders.

We provide quick and hassle-free account opening for beginners—helping you complete KYC, choose the right account type, and start trading in days.

3. Start Small – Even ₹100 is Enough

Yes, you read that right. There’s no rule that you must invest thousands to get started. Many companies’ shares are priced under ₹100, and you can also invest through:

SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) in equity mutual funds from ₹500/month.

ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) that give instant diversification at low cost.

4. Pick the Right Approach

If you’re starting small, your priority should be:

Sectors you understand – For example, if you work in IT, you may understand tech companies better.

Diversification – Don’t put all your money in one stock.

Avoid hype stocks – Don’t buy just because it’s trending on social media.

5. Keep Brokerage Costs Low

Small investments can get eaten up by high brokerage charges. Choose a broker (like us) who offers:

Low brokerage rates

User-friendly trading platforms

Guidance for beginners

This way, more of your money stays invested instead of going into fees.

6. Track & Learn

Check your portfolio regularly—not daily, but often enough to understand how your investments are performing. We guide our clients in reading market updates, understanding company news, and spotting growth opportunities.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need a fortune to start building wealth through the share market—you need the right knowledge, a reliable broker, and patience.

If you’re ready to start your journey with just ₹100 or ₹500, we can help you open your account, choose your first investments, and guide you every step of the way.
