Any individual who is interested to invest in Share Market can’t invest directly in Shares of any Company. They have to firstly open Demat Account. As an individual, we can’t open our account directly, with a depository such as CDSL (Central Depository Service Limited) or NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited). Instead, we need to register with a Depository Participant (DP), known as a broker, who in turns registers our Demat Account with the depository. With this article, the reader will get the knowledge about the Demat Account.

In this article we will go through the following topics:-

  1. What is a Demat Account
  2. Advantage and Disadvantage of Demat Account
  3. Demat Account opening procedure
  4. Document required for opening Demat Account
  5. How to invest using Demat Account
  6. Eligibility criteria and Charges
  7. Dematerialization
  8. Name of Full services and Discount brokers.

What is a Demat Account?

Demat Account is an account that allows investors to hold their shares in an electronic form.

Instead of having to deal with obnoxious paperwork, investors now hold their stocks or mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in an electronic form in a Demat account.

Demat Account is the equivalent of a Book Account, but where a Demat account holds all shares, a bank account holds your money.

As I have cleared it above, that an Individual can’t open Demat Account directly with a depository such as CSDL or NSDL. We have to register with a Depository Participant (DP).

A DP is usually a stock brokerage or bank, that has been granted the license to open Demat Accounts on behalf of its customers or investors.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Demat Account

Advantages:-

  1. This account generally helps us to avoid problems which are associated with physical share certificates.
  2. It is very easy and convenient to hold securities in this account.
  3. It is safer than physical shares which are in paper form.
  4. Any changes done by shareholders in a registered record with a partner automatically get registered with all securities held by the shareholder.
  5. Automatic credit into an online account for shares which arises out of bonus and splits.
  6. It reduces risks of delayed settlement.
  7. Traders can deal with shares from anywhere using this account.
  8. Shares are immediately credited to the account after purchases have been done.
  9. Demat Account reduces transaction charges and avoids stamp duty on them as well.

 

Demat Account

Disadvantages:-

  1. Trading in securities may become uncontrolled in case of dematerialized securities.
  2. There is no provision to close a Demat account which is having illiquid shares.
  3. After liquidating the holdings many Indian investors don’t close their DP account.
  4. Only educated PPI can access it.
  5. It may become difficult for the regulator to access market activity in all Demat.

Demat Account Opening Procedure:-

There are two ways to start with your account:

  1. Online Account Opening
  2. Traditional Method of Submitting Physical Forms.

Demat Account

 

Before starting on the Demat Account opening procedure, select broker on a variety of factors- such as brokerage fees/charges, the platform’s/user interface and customer service.

How To Invest Using Demat Account:-

I’m hoping all of you’re familiar with What is Demat Account and have grasped how to open a Demat Account. Before starting this topic we need to discuss some important things:-

  1. It was introduced in 1996.
  2. The total number of investor accounts in the country, as of July 2017 stood at 16.02 million with NSDL and 12.03 million with CDSL.
  3. On CDSL traders hold 25,709 Crores of securities.

Now, how to invest using a Demat Account. I will discuss this by an example.

Suppose you picked Upstox as Brocker or DP for opening my Demat Account. Here’s how you will start investing:-

  1. You should get used to the trading platform you will be using- in this case, you can use Upstox Pro Web or Upstox Pro Mobile.
  2. It is important for you to know trading terms like IPO, Portfolio, to know trading terms like IPO, Portfolio, Yield, Index, Sector, P/E ratio etc.
  3. Link your bank account to the trading account you are using. Start buying your desired stocks from the market using the money in the trading account.
  4. After you are done buying stocks; your trading account will be debited in real-time and the shares you bought will be credited to your Demat Account within the ‘Settlement’ period, which is T+2 days.
  5. You can sell your stocks on the same platform.
  6. Your securities will be debited and credited to and from your account in the ‘settlement period’. This is usually within T+2 days, i.e. two days after a trade is placed.

Eligibility Criteria and Charges:-

  1. There is no minimum age to invest in the stock market. Both Minor and an Adult can invest in the stocks.
  2. Pan and KYC details are a necessity to get started. (for minor parents detailed are required)
  3. Annual Maintenance Fee (vary from broker to broker)
  4. Account Opening Charges (vary from broker to broker)
  5. Transaction Fees (vary from broker to broker)

Dematerialization:-

It is the process of converting physical share certificates and securities to an electronic format which is stored in a Demat account. To alleviate the risk associated with trading of securities in paper format, the concept of dematerialization was introduced in the Indian Share Markets.

Process of Dematerialisation of Shares:-

  1. First, approach your brokerage firm and complete all the procedures to open a Demat account
  2. To convert your securities from physical to electronic form, you have to request a Demat Request Form (DRF)
  3. For every share with a different ISIN (International Securities Identifications Number), a separate form will be required.
  4. The brokerage firm will process the request to the company in which you hold the shares.
  5. Once the request is approved by the company, your physical form of the share will be destroyed and a confirmation will be sent.
  6. The depository will confirm the dematerialization process. Once the process is completed, all the physical shares will be converted into electronic form from 15 to 30 days.

List of Brokers in India:-

There are two types of Brokers in India viz. Full-Service Brokers and Discount Brokers

Indian railway is one of the most fascinating things that happened to our country. It is the heart of travelling from one place to another. The Indian railway is said to be the largest railway network to be operated by a single government and is the world’s third largest network with a total length of 1,27,760 km.

The number of daily passengers on the railways is said to be larger than the population of some countries. It also carries 1014.15 million tons of freight annually. Clearly, the Indian railway itself is a pride of the nation, but let us go a little deeper inside the topic and find out why the above mentioned two Indian trains are being compared with each other in terms of the nation’s pride.

 

Let’s first talk about The Maharajas’ Express, also known as the Indian luxury train. The name itself precisely states how royal this train is. Getting a ride of this luxury train costs quite a big amount but a traveller gets an amazing opportunity to experience royalty running on wheels.

The interiors are designed so beautifully keeping in mind The Indian Royal Heritage. It is well fitted with all the modern world-class comforts. The train runs pan-Indian voyages traversing through some of the most amazing destinations, vistas, and attraction of the country.

The travellers onboard this Indian luxury train gets an insight into the past lavishness of Indian royalty and because of all these myriad conducive features awards have made their way to Maharajas’ Express since its very inception. It has set a record with consecutive wins at the World Travel Awards. All in all this train is something worth praising for the exceptional idea behind starting it, which is to dignify our rich culture.

 

Till now one question has definitely arrived in your mind that “Is there any need to compare this luxury train with something like the Mumbai local train?” Yes, there is. Let’s find the reason why.

 

Local train is an effective mode of transportation for travelling distances within the city and connecting its suburbs. Mumbai’s local train network is the oldest railways system in Asia. It was inaugurated on April 16th, 1853.

These trains are optimized to carry an average of 1700 people per journey but in actuality, a train will carry almost 5000 on average during peak hours. With a total of 7.5 million commuters daily(i.e., more than five times the population of Estonia, ten times the population of Bhutan and just a little less than the population of Switzerland) in 2,342 trains that run daily, that means 2.7 billion people use these trains every year.

Travelling on them is a whole other experience, not necessarily for the faint of heart. Mumbai local has taught people a small lesson of SHARING, popularly known as THE FOURTH SEAT wherein, there is always a place for a fourth person to sit on a seat of three. ANGER and FIGHTS become inevitable sometimes but for covering it up you can easily find a group of people doing BHAJAN KEERTAN. And trust me you’ll enjoy this more than your walkman or iPod.

There are a hundred people around you, people of all age groups and backgrounds. Everyone is an equal here and you have to accommodate to get accommodated. Adjusting to situations is something a quality you will realize here.

And the best part of all? You make new friends. A very unique group called TRAIN FRIENDS.

The Mumbai Local trains are unbeatable and unstoppable under any circumstances, not even terrorists could shut it down for long. It took all of three hours for the trains to start running again after the infamous 2006 serial blasts along the suburban railway line.

 

On one hand where The Maharaja’s express depict the royal culture of India through the ecstatic interior and the services are given to the commuters and on the other hand The Mumbai local train which itself is a model of our nation carrying people of different age, caste, creed, and background having a common goal to reach their destination. For some people, it may seem like just a mode of transportation but to many, it is a life-line, a model that holds on diversity, a plethora of human emotions reflecting moments of joy and sorrow.

      “IT IS NOT JUST A MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, IT IS A JOURNEY”.

It didn’t receive any award but it is the heart and soul of most the Indians.

The Mumbai Local is indeed a matter of pride, THE INDIAN PRIDE for a reason you see!

A piece of writing or article which is written by a senior publisher or editorial staff of a newspaper or magazine is called Editorial. An editorial is an opinion piece but unlike a column in a newspaper isn’t written from a single writers personal opinion.
Instead, it is the opinion of the publication. In a more simple way, an editorial is a piece of opinion by Senior editors based on their experience and research that are not strictly news. These pieces usually show up on the dedicated page, called the editorial page, which often features letters to the editor from members of the public; the page opposite this page is called the op-ed page and frequently contains opinion pieces by writers not directly affiliated with the publication.
An editorial is often called Leading article in US or Leader in the UK. In another much broader sense “Editorial” also refers to the all the content in a journal publication.
Illustrated Editorials appear in the form of Cartoon Editorials. They typically combine artistic skill, hyperbole, and satire in order to question authority and draw attention to corruption, political violence, and other social ills. The editorials featured with often full-page photographs on a particular theme, designer, model or another single topic, with or without accompanying text are called photo editorials. Photo-Editorials are published in Fashion Journals.

There are four categories or types of editorials:

1. Editorial of Argumentation: The purpose of which is to energize readers to think the same way as the writer. This is often called editorial of persuasion. The editor argues in order to convince or persuade the reader to accept his take on the issue.
2. Editorial of Information/Interpretation-  It seeks to give information on facts of news stories or add other facts with minimum explanation. It may define terms, identify persons or factors or provide background.
3. Editorial of Tribute, Praise, and Commendation: It praises, comments, or pays tribute to a person or organization that has performed some worthwhile projects or deeds, or accomplishments.
4. Editorial of Entertainment –  It evokes a smile, a chuckle, laughter while suggesting truth. Its main aim is to entertain. It is usually short.

Editorial of Entertainment can be grouped in two sub-categories.

 a) Humor as a vehicle to bring public awareness to an issue that’s not serious in nature.
An example – a humorous campaign targeting dog walkers who don’t pick up after their furry children.
b) Satire or sarcasm used to highlight a very serious topic e.g.: sexual assault on college campuses.
.
Editorials are certainly the best part of publications and are a “must read” . A keen reader never misses the editorial pages. For instance , news daily “The Hindu” , published in India is famous for its editorial section so much so that competitive exam aspirants who may/may not engulf the entire newspaper end up spending few minutes on the editorial section anyway.

Former Economic Affairs Secretary of India Mr. Shaktikanta Das assumed the RBI Governor’s office as 25th Governor  after Dr. Urjit Patel surprisingly withdrew himself from the post. Mr. Shaktikanta Das is the first I.A.S officer to assume the RBI Governor’s office after straight 28 years since, Mr. S. Venkitaraman left the office. Shaktikanta Das is 1980 batch I.A.S officer of Tamil Nadu cadre. He was earlier a member of the 15th Finance Commission of India.

India’s Sherpa to the G20 born in Bhuvneshwar got his M.A. degree in History from St. Stephan’s College, Delhi University. He is also an alumnus of Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta and National Institute of Banking and Management. Mr Das is the 14th career bureaucrat including 12 IAS/ICS officers to hold the position. He has got the tenure as an RBI Governor till 2021.

He was appointed by PMO after the recommendation of the Finance Ministry. He was one of the key people involved in the execution of the demonetisation. He was question by BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy, The Economist himself for his association with former finance minister P Chitambaram in acquiring real estate in Mahabalipuram when Das was Industry Secretary in Tamil Nadu. He is in  the good books of The Prime Minister.

The reason of abruptly quitting the position by Mr. Urjit Patel is unknown but all the eyes are set on Mr. Das, let’s see what his 3 year tenure brings for financial conditions of the nation.

“Every institution must maintain its professional integrity and autonomy, at the same time every institution must adhere to principles of accountability.” – Mr. Shaktikanta Das

.

“I believe he can engage with all the stakeholders because to my mind, many of the current issues and situations have come also because of a large gap in communication, which I am sure Mr. Das with his experience and past engagement would be able to fill in.” – S. S. Mundra, Former Deputy Governor, RBI

.

“The person itself doesn’t matter that much. What really matters is the process. So if you have a situation where a position as important as the governor of the RBI is filled within 24 hours of the resignation of the incumbent that will raise eyebrows. People are going to say the government must have already decided that this person is going to take over.” – Pronab Sen, Former Chief Statistician of India
