A demat account is similar to a bank account that is used to hold financial securities electronically. It is the first mandatory step towards investing in mutual funds and other securities in India. For a trader willing to invest in the stock market, he/she is required to have a user ID and password to access transactions. It is necessary to quote the demat account number for any sale and purchase of securities.
In this account, a holder deposits shares or mutual funds or bonds in electronic form and an annual maintenance charge is levied to keep the account active. However, some brokerage houses offer lifetime free demat and trading accounts, an interface where one can purchase and sell shares on stock exchanges like BSE and NSE.
Here’s a list of companies offering free demat accounts:
