- 42. WHAT IS A DEMAT ACCOUNT? A DEMAT ACCOUNT is one of the basic requirements to trade online and to convert physical shares into the dematerialized format. It facilitates in document free trade and transfer transactions. It essentially works on similar lines of a bank account. It holds the financial statements and certificates of the holder’s purchases of shares, bonds, government securities, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). DEMAT ACCOUNT number is quoted for all transactions to enable electronic settlements of trades to take place. Every shareholder will have a Dematerialized account for the purpose of transacting. Access to the Dematerialized account requires an internet password and a transaction password. Transfers or purchases of securities can then be initiated. Purchases and sales of securities on the Dematerialising are automatically made once transactions are confirmed and completed. MOTIVE OF DEMAT SYSTEM India adopted the DEMAT ACCOUNT for electronic storing, wherein shares and securities are represented and maintained electronically, thus eliminating the troubles associated with paper shares. After the introduction of the depository system by the Depository Act of 1996 , the process for sales, purchases and transfers of shares became significantly easier and most of the risks associated with paper certificates were mitigated. HOW DEMAT ACCOUNT WORKS? Central Depositories Is an organization that provides financial services, holds securities in electronic format and assists trading. One of its primary functions is to transfer the ownership of shares from one investor to another. The National Securities Depositories Limited (NSDL) and the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) are the two depositories in India.
- 43. Depository Participant (DP) A depository (in simple terms) is an institution holding a pool of pre-verified shares held in electronic mode that offers efficient settlement of transactions. A Depository Participant (DP) is an intermediary between the investor and the depository. A DP is typically a financial organization like a bank, broker, financial institution, or custodian acting as an agent of the depository to make its services available to the investors. Each DP is assigned a unique identification number known as DP- ID. As of March 2006, there were a total of 538 DPs registered with SEBI.
- 44. DEMATERIALIZATION Dematerialisation is a process in which you can convert physical share certificates into electronic shares. Shares should have been transferred in your name / joint names before sending it for dematerialisation. You have the option to hold shares either in the physical OR in the dematerialized form. This is as per the Depositories Act, 1996.However, when you buy shares you may receive delivery in the DEMAT form as per the option of the seller. REMATERIALIZATION It is the process by which a client can get his electronic holdings converted into physical certificates. The client has to submit the rematerialisation request to the DP with whom he has an account. The DP enters the request in its system which blocks the client’s holdings to that extent automatically. The Issuer / R& T agent then prints the certificates, dispatches the same to the client and simultaneously electronically confirms the acceptance of the request to NSDL. Thereafter, the client’s blocked balances are debited. DEMAT OPTIONS There are many hundreds of Depository Participants (DPs) offering the Demat account facility in India as of September 2011. A comparison of the fees charged by different DPs is detailed below. There are a few distinct advantages of having a bank as a DP. Having a Demat account with a bank DP, usually provides quick processing, accessibility, convenience, and online transaction capability to the investor. Generally, banks credit the Demat account with shares in case of purchase, or credit a savings account with the proceeds of a sale, on the third day. Banks are also advantageous because of the number of branches they have. Some banks give the option of opening a Demat account in any branch, while others restrict themselves to a select set of branches. Some private banks also provide online access to the Demat account.
- 45. Fees Involved There are four major charges usually levied on a DEMAT account: account opening fee, annual maintenance fee, custodian fee and transaction fee. Charges for all fees vary from DP to DP. 1. Demat Account-opening fee There may not be an opening account fee. Private banks do not have one, but other entities do impose an opening fee. 2. Annual maintenance fee This is also known as folio maintenance charges, and is generally levied in advance. It is charged on annual or monthly basis. 3. Transaction fee The transaction fee is charged for crediting/debiting securities to and from the account on a monthly basis. Pay the fee to the transaction value, which is subject to a minimum amount. The fee also differs based on the kind of transaction (buying or selling). Some DPs charge only for debiting the securities, while others charge for both. Some DP's also charge the investor even if the instruction to buy/sell fails or is rejected. In addition, service tax is also charged by the DPs In addition to the other fees, the DP also charges a fee for converting the shares from the physical to the electronic form or vice versa. This fee varies for both Demat (physical-to-electronic) and Remat (electronic-to-physical) requests. For Demat transactions, some DPs charge a flat fee per request in addition to the variable fee per certificate, while others charge only the variable fee. For instance, Stock Holding Corporation has charged Rs 25 as the request fee and Rs 3 per certificate as the variable fee. However, SBI has charged only the variable fee, as Rs 3 per certificate. Remat requests also have charges akin to that of Demat. However, variable charges for Remat are generally higher than Demat.
- 46. Some of the additional features (usually offered by banks) are as follows. Some DPs offer a frequent- trader account, where they charge frequent traders at lower rates than the standard charges. Demat account holders are generally required to pay the DP an advance fee for each account that will be adjusted against the various service charges. The account holder needs to raise the balance when it falls below a certain amount prescribed by the DP. However, if the holders also hold a savings account with the DP, they can provide a debit authorisation to the DP for paying this charge. Finally, once choosing a DP, it would be prudent to keep all accounts with that DP, so that tracking of capital gains liability is easier. This is because when calculating capital gains tax, the period of holding will be determined by the DP, and different DPs follow different methods. For instance, ICICI Bank uses the first in first out (FIFO) method to compute the period of holding. The proof of the cost of acquisition will be the contract note. The computation of capital gains is done account-wise. Indian Banking System First, an investor has to approach a DP and fill up an account opening form. The account opening form must be supported by copies of any one of the approved documents to serve as proof of identity (POI) and proof of address (POA) as specified by SEBI. An investor must have his/her PAN card in original at the time of opening of the account (mandate effective from April 1, 2006). All applicants should carry original documents for verification by an authorized official of the depository participant, under his signature. Further, the investor has to sign an agreement with the DP in a depository prescribed standard format, which details rights and duties of investor and DP. DP should provide the investor with a copy of the agreement and schedule of charges for their future reference. The DP will open the account in the system and give an account number, which is also called BOID (Beneficiary Owner Identification number). The DP may revise the charges by giving 30 days’ notice in advance. SEBI has rationalised the cost structure for dematerialisation by removing account-opening charges, transaction charges for credit of securities, and custody charges vide circular dated January 28, 2005.
- 47. BENEFITS OF DEMAT ACCOUNT 1. Easy Access and monitoring Demat accounts are completely online, implying it can be easily accessed online from anywhere at any time. It also facilitates easy monitoring of the holdings. 2. Highly Secure Demat accounts have a two-factor authentication (2FA) and are safer than physical shareholding which includes the risk of theft, loss or damage. 3. Lowers Cost Trading of physical shared involved additional costs of stamp duty, handling charges, etc. which are not applicable for Demat accounts. 4. Speed Facilities Since all procedures are electronic, they are less time-consuming and more convenient. One can easily buy, sell and transfer funds and securities with just a few clicks. 5. Corporate Benefits Bonus issues, right shares, or stock split offered by companies are automatically updated in the Demat accounts and dividends, refunds, or interest are also directly available to the Demat account holder. 6. Common Account Demat account organizes all securities in one place as it is not just for shares, it can also hold other securities and investments.
- 48. DISADVANTAGES OF DEMAT ACCOUNT Trading in securities may become uncontrolled in case of dematerialized securities. It is incumbent upon the capital market regulator to keep a close watch on the trading in dematerialized securities and see to it that trading does not act as a detriment to investors. For dematerialized securities, the role of key market players such as stock-brokers needs to be supervised as they have the capability of manipulating the market. Multiple regulatory frameworks have to be conformed to, including the Depositories Act, Regulations and the various Bye-Laws of various depositories. Agreements are entered at various levels in the process of dematerialization. These may cause worries to the investor desirous of simplicity. There is no provision to close a Demat account, which is having illiquid shares. The investor cannot close the account and he and his successors have to go on paying
- 49. the charges to the participant, like annual folio charges etc. After liquidating the holdings, many Indian investors don't close their DP account. They are unaware that DPs charge even on dormant accounts.

- 50. HOW TO OPEN A DEMAT ACCOUNT ONLINE WITH KARVY? DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR DEMAT ACCOUNT To open a Demat account you have to provide documents which fulfil the requirements of KYC (Know Your Customer) norms. You have to sign a contract with Stock broker. Generally, the documents are: 1. PAN (compulsory) 2. Address proof 3. Passport size Photographs 4. Bank crossed cheque (If required) TRANSFER OF SHARES BETWEEN (DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANT) DPS To transfer shares, an investor has to fill one of two kinds of Depository Instruction Slip (DIS). The first check made is whether both Demat accounts are at the same depository. There are two depositories: CDSL [Central Depository Service (India) Limited] and NSDL National Securities Depository Limited)). If both Demat accounts are not at the same depository, then an Inter Depository Slip (Inter DIS) has to be filled and submitted. For example: If there is one Demat account with CDSL and the other Demat account with NSDL, then an Inter-DIS is needed. (In case the investor needs an Inter-DIS, the investor should check with the broker, since brokers usually issue an Inter-DIS).
- 51. Now that the correct DIS has been determined, information pertaining to the transfer transaction has to be entered: scrip name, INE number, quantity in words and figures. Finally, the investor should submit that DIS to the broker with signatures. The transfer broker shall accept that DIS in duplicate and acknowledge receipt of DIS on duplicate copy. The investor should submit the DIS when the market is open. Accordingly, date of submission of DIS and date of execution of DIS can be same or a difference of one day is also acceptable.

Karvy gaining good response in the Demat field by providing good services. I concluded by this that research that services and returns got more importance than goodwill.
