Exclusive Dematerialization Services for converting physical share certificates to demat
What is Dematerialization?
Dematerialization is the procedure of giving electronic format to physical shares and securities. So, open a demat account if you are looking for dematerialization of your mutual fund units, share certificates, government securities, etc. Once opened, you can get electronic shares in the demat account by surrendering your physical entities. To open a demat account; you need a depository participant (DP), who can take care of all your shares and securities in electronic format.
Like any banking services, benefits of depository services are taken through DP. Any financial institute like bank, stock-brokers, and financial corporations can work as a DP, if they are following SEBI’s norms. Currently, there are two depositories, Central Depository Services India Limited (CDSL), and National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Both these depositories get registered with Securities of Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Why do you need a Demat Account?
