Demat Opening Checklist

Open your Demat in four steps

Going paperless is straightforward when you prepare the right documents and understand the DP flow. Here’s how to finish onboarding without friction.

  1. Choose a DP: Consider brokerage integration, service quality, and charges.
  2. Complete KYC: Upload PAN, Aadhaar/passport, address proof, bank proof, and photos.
  3. Sign digitally: eSign agreements, provide nominee details, and finish IPV through video or OTP.
  4. Activate & link: Receive BO ID, link trading/bank accounts, and start transacting.

Documentation tips

  • Keep original proofs handy for video verification.
  • NRIs need FEMA declarations plus overseas address proof.
  • Corporate applicants attach board resolutions & authorised signatory lists.
  • Track activation emails/SMS for BO ID confirmation.
