Demat account
Hello, little one! Do you know what a piggy bank is? It's a place where you can put your money and keep it safe. Think of a demat account like a digital piggy bank for grown-ups.
In India, people used to buy and sell shares of companies by physically exchanging pieces of paper called share certificates. This was very messy and time-consuming. So, some smart people came up with a way to own shares without the need for physical certificates. This process is called dematerialization, or "demat" for short.
A demat account is a type of digital wallet where you can store all your electronic shares and securities. It is like a bank account for your investments. Instead of physical share certificates, your ownership in companies is represented by digital records. This makes buying and selling shares much easier and faster.
Your demat account is linked to your bank account, so when you buy or sell shares, the money is automatically deducted or added to your bank account. You can access your demat account online and keep track of your investments easily.
When you buy shares through your demat account, you will receive an electronic confirmation instead of a physical certificate. And when you sell shares, they will be automatically deducted from your demat account.
So, there you have it! Demat accounts are like digital piggy banks that help you manage your investments in a secure and convenient way.
