Opening a Demat Account Online Quickly
What is a Demat Account?
Back in the day, buying and selling shares required a lot of paperwork. However, technology has now made things easier with the help of Demat Accounts.
A Demat Account holds one's stocks and other securities in digital form. Think of it as a bank account. The only difference is that in a Demat Account, instead of money, one's investments are kept digitally. Thus, it is easy to buy and sell them online, without the need for physical certificates. For someone looking to invest in the stock market, opening a Demat Account is the first step to start the journey.
