WHAT IS DEMAT ACCOUNT?
Like a Bank Account that keeps your physical money safe in the form of digital currency for easier transactions, opening a free DEMAT Account acts as a safe for the shares/stocks that you've bought. Online free DEMAT Account keeps your shares and stocks in a digital format, thus enabling you to keep track of the price movement.
Earlier, shares/stocks were kept in the form of physical receipts. This made it difficult for investors to keep hold of the receipts for a longer time. The advent of the DEMAT account thus made it easy for investors and traders to trade instantly and keep shares for as long as they desire.
