The main aim of the market is to utilize the funds from the savings of the investors and to direct such funds into various sectors of the economy. Many loopholes came forward with all the scams that were happening all around with respect to the ineffective management of SEBI of the Depository system, creation of Benami Demat accounts, etc. The Indian Depository system has its own pros and cons. The facility to hold securities in a dematerialized or digital form by an investor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A depository Participant in an Indian depository system will act as an agent of the Depository and is said to be the intermediary between it and the investor. As per the SEBI regulations, both the depository and the depository participant are required to be registered under SEBI. The Depository participant can offer their services only if they are registered under SEBI and are certified to do so. Depository Participants are mostly public financial institutions, brokers, brokerage firms, clearing houses, and scheduled commercial <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">banks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are registered with either of the two Depositories that are existing in India which are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Securities Depository Limited (NDSL)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An investor who has a share certificate is required to open a Demat account with any depository participant. The Investor as well as the depository participant need to follow certain procedures. The Harshad Mehta scam in 1992 was shocking for the entire nation it shook the foundation on which the Indian stock market was built to claim its regulatory policies that protected millions and millions of investors. The scam had a huge impact on the Indian Stock Market. The impact was so huge that it caused the highest drop in share prices. The market had lost around Rs 3,500 Crore and collapsed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"of\"><b>Concept of Demat Account<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1996 the concept of dematerialization came into effect with National Securities Depository Ltd. being its foundation (NSDL). NSE is the primary operating market for National Securities Depository Ltd and BSE is the primary market for CDSL. The main aim of the introduction of The Depository system in India was to achieve paperless trading in the stock market.

This is a very basic understanding of the importance of a Demat account.

In case the investor wishes to close the Demat account then information like the depository participant\u2019s ID as well as the client ID is required. The investor needs to give a reason for closing the Demat account.

Dematerialization means no physical scrip in existence only maintenance of electronic records. This kind of system is very cost-effective and simple and has been adopted in India. Adaptation of the system would lead to savings on paperwork. A depository participant plays a major role in the opening of the Demat account it acts as an agent of the depository.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It functions like a Securities bank.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It facilitates dematerialization.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It settles trades in the electronic segment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credits to the investor an IPO, rights, and bonus.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Account opening.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the era of Demat accounts in India when everything was not digital and investors had physical copies of the shares and had to trade in physical form. In this era of physical trading, traders had a lot of hustles in keeping their physical shares safe from theft, damage, and robbery, or snatching. The constant hustle and difficulty for keep one&#8217;s shares safe gave rise to the opening of a digital Demat account. The primary benefit of the Demat account is that it is no more association of labor work with trading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Demat\"><b>Benefits of having a Demat Account<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various benefits of having a Demat account as an investor. Some of the major ones are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low-Risk Percentage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When the share\/securities were in physical form there was a huge risk of damage, theft, and robbery of physical shares. When trade becomes digitalized it would protect the securities\/shares from being robbed and stolen as they are in electronic format. The storing of the shares is also not a problem now. There is no scope for manual error which prevents bad deliveries from being an issue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cost-Friendly:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One of the major benefits is also that it is very cost-friendly. There are no stamp duty charges associated with every individual trade since there is no involvement of physical shares\/securities. No handling charges are associated and all the charges getting removed from individual trade lowers the overall cost made by the investor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Easy Process:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As compared to physical trading of shares\/securities a Demat account is more convenient and easier. Online trading involves linking bank accounts. The entire process of trading has become convenient for traders and investors. Linking the bank accounts makes the transactions quick. With the purchase of the shares, the amount gets debited from the investor&#8217;s bank account without any manual or physical involvement\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fast Transaction:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While physical trading the shares had to be sent to the registrar in order to transfer them to someone\u2019s name. The entire process was time taking whereas in the case of the Demat account the shares are transferred immediately without any delay.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously during the time of physical trading, trading could only be done with even lots. Someone addressed this issue by giving traders the opportunity to either sell or buy every single share available on the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nseindia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stock market<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This not only brings in more people to the world of trading but also increases the frequency of trades carried out on the market by individual traders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Takeaway\"><b>Takeaway<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demat Account came as a blessing for all the traders and investors in India.
