Do you know what a Demat Account is?
Introduced in the year 1996 as an alternative to physical share certificates, a Demat Account is the one that electronically holds securities and shares; it not only makes the trading of shares quick and simple but also reduces the risk and problems associated with physical share certificates.

A Demat Account can also be termed as Dematerialised account, which means converting the physical shares in to electronic format. Dematerialising of shares not only eliminates unnecessary paperwork, but also helps in soothing the process of share trading. A Demat Account can be used to store a wide variety of investments such as equity shares, ETFs bonds, debt securities, mutual funds and Government securities. In UAE, having a Demat Account is mandatory if you are thinking to invest in the India Stock Market.

What steps needed to be taken to open a Demat Account online?

  • Connect with the Depository Participant (DP) & fill the opening form online:
  • Submit the required documents with photograph :
  • Get rules & regulations and charges details
  • Clear the verification process
  • After the application is processed, DP sanctions the account number & client id

The opening of the Demat Account for the NRIs is similar to the ones based in India, but before opening the Demat Account the NRIs should provide the following:

  • PAN Card of the NRI applicant
  • NRI Bank Account
  • Portfolio Investment Scheme letter of approval for the NRI issues directly by the Reserve Bank of India

The NRI Account Subtypes:

  • NRE Demat Account (Repartriable Demat Account):
    The purpose of NRE Demat is to buy/sell shares on repatriable basis and in the case of dividend & principal, both of them are repatriable.
  • NRO Demat Account (Non-Repartriable Demat Account):
    The purpose of NRO Demat is to buy/sell on non-repatriable basis and to hold securities which are bought as Indian resident before becoming NRI and in the case of dividend & principal; the principal is not repatriable, whereas the dividend is repatriable.
