Demat Account in India: Everything You Need to Know in 2025

What is a Demat Account?

A Dematerialized (Demat) account holds your securities in electronic form. Just as a bank account holds money, a demat account holds your shares, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities digitally.

Why Do You Need a Demat Account?

Since 1996, SEBI mandated that all trades on Indian exchanges must be settled in dematerialized form. You cannot buy or sell stocks without a demat account.
