How a Demat Account Works
- Digital Storage: Physical certificates are converted into electronic form, which is then stored in the Demat account.
- Buying and Selling: When you purchase shares, they are credited to your Demat account, and when you sell, they are debited.
- Depository and Depository Participants: A Demat account is maintained through a depository (like NSDL or CDSL in India) and managed by authorized agents, known as depository participants (DPs) – Wealthio acts as a DP to handle all transactions on your behalf.
