What is the Demat Account?

Like opening a bank account for doing your personal financial transactions, you have to open a Demat account to trade in the stock market. Demat account refers to Dematerialized account. This account helps you to buy and sell stocks without the need for physical paper shares.

A Demat Account is a must for trading the stocks these days. To open a demat account; you should select a Depository Participant (DP). These days most of the banks are also DPs. So you can contact any of the DPs with your identity, address proof and PAN documents for opening a demat account for a prescribed fee by the DP. The registered DPs are also listed in NSDL (http://www.nsdl.co.in/) and CDSL (http://www.cdslindia.com/) websites.

"The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the man of inferior emotional balance, or for the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."
