Holding a demat account an investor can get ready to invest in the Indian share market. But choosing a good service provider, and the quality of the services provided can play a vital role in deciding the success rate of returns for the investor. There are a lot of service providers in India and we take a look at the various kinds of services provided by them.

Demat services have gained much popularity with the Indian people. Share market has always been an attractive avenue of gaining higher returns through investments. But with the advent of online trading facilities, physical trading of stocks seemed unattractive. And the first and foremost requirement for a person to start online trading in share market is a demat account. A demat account can hold all your securities electronically, thus eliminating the risks involved in storing or trading the physical share certificates. An investor would need a demat account from a registered Depository Participant (DP) to avail the demat services it provides.

We provide quality demat services to our customers. We offer free opening of a depositary account, and free online trading software. Our team of financial experts in the advisory support is ready to help you with your queries and guiding you through the trading process in the Indian share market.

Dematerialization services are being provided by most of the leading banks and financial institutions, which act as the depository participants. Demat services include safeguarding, transfer and maintenance of securities. The demat service provider generally provides additional services like an online trading software or advisory support too. The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) requires a demat service provider to be registered with a depository, i.e. National Securities Depository Ltd.(SDL) or the Central Depository Services Ltd.(CDSL).

There are charges associated with the demat services too. Most of the depository participants waiver off the demat account opening charges. But the account maintenance charges, transaction fees and custodian fee will need to be paid by the trader. These charges differ for the various depository participants. The demat account service providers provide services like online trading software, call and trade facility or stock trading tips, and also some additional facilities. They can be generally categorized as:

• Demat account opening


• Demat account maintenance


• Trading of shares from your demat account


• Trading account


• Online trading software


• Market research and news


• Live share price updates


• Advisory support


• Call and trade facility

Some of the charges for these or any other facilities may be free depending on the demat service provider. The brokerage charges being levied upon for the transaction of securities can play an important role in your selection of the demat account service provider.
