- What is Demat Account?
- The dawn of digitalisation in India’s stock trading market is credited to the invention of the Demat Account, or the dematerialised account. Through this, users can easily buy and hold shares in an electronic format. Along with shares, a Demat Account also holds investments such as government securities, exchange-traded funds, bonds and mutual funds in a single place.
What are the benefits of Demat Account?
Lower risk of document loss: In physical bonds and shares, it can be easy to misplace or even lose documents in the event of a disaster that requires you to relocate. Through storing your stocks digitally, you can keep a permanent record for the sake of security. This is far more beneficial than opting for physical formats.
To prevent fraud: A paperless Demat account can be especially useful. With an electronic record of all the details and data, you can be confident that the shares or bonds held in your Demat account are legitimate and secure. This eliminates any risk of forgery or incorrect information associated with physical share certificates.
Loan Availability: Your Demat account affords you the opportunity to access various bank loans. By utilizing the securities stored in your Demat account as a security deposit, you can access these loan options from your banking institution. The securities act as collateral and guarantee you access to the funds.
Cost Effective: Opening a Demat account online has many financial advantages. The use of a Demat account offers more pocket-friendly features and benefits to the investors. By eliminating physical securities, investors don’t have to pay customs duties or other handling costs, making it an optimal choice for reducing costs. In essence, Demat accounts pave a way for more cost-effective trading.
Time Efficiency: With a Demat account, buying and selling shares can be done quickly and effortlessly, which is not the case with physical share transfers. This allows for greater liquidity of securities since transactions are processed in no time given that all holdings are dematerialized. Thereby providing you with the fasted ways to buy and sell.
No TDS on Demat Securities: To avoid Tax Deduction at Source (TDS), the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has provided an exemption when making payments from a Demat account. Interest accrued on bonds and securities also remains safe from TDS as long as they are kept in the Demat format, which need to be listed with NSE and BSE. Therefore, it is important to save securities in the Demat mode to exempt oneself from TDS.
