Facilities Offered by a Demat Account
Demat account opening offers a wide range of facilities for the investor. Let us
look at a few of them below:
- Transfer of Investments: A demat account aids the transfer of shares of an investor. By filling
in a Delivery Instruction Slip ( DIS ) with all the relevant investor specifics, it enables an
effortless transfer of shares. However, it is not only limited to shares, but various
investments or security holding can also be transferred through such an account.
- Dematerialisation and Rematerialisation: A demat account assists the conversion of securities
into different formats easily. By instructing your DP (depository participant) for
dematerialisation, to carry out the formalities to convert the physical share certificate into
an electronic form. On the other hand, the investor can get their electronic security holding
converted back to the physical form via the process of Rematerialization, wherein an RRF - Remat
Request form is to be filled in by the DP.
- Loan Facility: the securities held in the account can provide the investors with their exact and
detailed holding to enable them to apply for a loan from a bank or financial institution. The
securities can be provided as collateral towards the loan.
- Corporate Actions: Such accounts assist the investor in tracking and maintaining their
securities. This is specifically required to monitor split of any equity shares, bonus issues or
any other action taken by the companies for their shareholders. These are directly updated in
the account.
- Freezing your demat account: Investors are provided with the option to freeze their accounts for
a specific period or as per requirement. At times this is undertaken to prevent unexpected
activities in the account. However, to avail this facility a particular amount of shares should
be present in the investor's account.
- Speed E- facility: NSDL has provided an electronic facility for their investors to complete a
transaction through the submission of an e-slip which is then sent to their DP.
Angel One services provide all of the above mentioned demat facilities to their investors and more
convenient and easy methods for trading.
Things to know before opening a Demat account
The current online account opening process has made it really simple to open Demat account. In fact,
in the current system, you don't even have to visit the broker's office for account opening. You can
simply fill in the electronic form, update mobile number and email id, and complete KYC compliance
with a preferred DP and get a Demat account open under an hour. But as an informed investor, you
must be aware of the following.
Documents needed for Demat: You need a list of documents to complete the KYC
process. It includes:
- Identification Proof:
- Voter Identity Card
- Aadhaar Card
- PAN Card with photograph
- Passport
- Driving Licence
- College Identity cards
- Address proof:
- Latest electricity/ telephone/ post-paid cell phone/ gas pipeline/ water bill
- Bank account statement
- Land Receipt
- Ration Card
You will get a list of documents required for account opening from the DP. Make sure you provide the
correct documents to avoid your application getting rejected.
Charges: There is an array of fees collected by the broker, ranging from taxes
levied by SEBI to operational fees. Charges are a crucial metric to select the right broking house
since these are additional costs you would need to bear along with capital fund investment.
Linking Demat: You need a trading account, linked to your Demat, to carry out
trading. You can have trading and Demat accounts with separate broking houses. But it adds to the
process requirement of transferring scrips from one account to another and transaction time. For
faster and more seamless transactions, you may open both the accounts with the same broker.
File nomination: Registering nominee to your Demat saves a lot of time and hassle in
the future. It is an important step that we often ignore. However, we suggest naming a nominee for
your account while opening the Demat.
Additional Features Of Demat Account
These are some of the additional benefits you can enjoy with a Demat account.
Consolidation: It is possible to consolidate different portfolios of the same
company to create a new portfolio. You can forward the physical certificates with a letter duly
signed seeking consolidation to the RSTA of the company.
Account types: Demat account can take different forms, just like a bank account. You
can open a joint Demat account, or in the name of a corporation, multiple accounts, and even in the
name of a minor. However, a minor's Demat account will need a guardian to operate the account.
Transaction Charges: Opening a Demat account comes with its fair share of charges
which would involve an annual maintenance fee, a transaction fee or commission for every transaction
carried out by the DP. Additionally, depending on the DP a fee may be charged for dematerialisation
of the shares. But on the brighter side, there are no mandates to sustain a minimum balance. Such
accounts can be opened without holding any securities.
