Demat Account
A Demat account is like a bank account for your securities or investments. The only difference is that while a bank account holds a depositor's money, the Demat account contains your stocks, debentures, bonds, government securities (Gsecs), mutual fund units, exchange traded fund (ETF) units etc. in an electronic form.
The structure of the Dematerialized system comprises a depository, which is the entity that actually holds your securities. This can be compared to a bank, which holds your money. The depository has dedicated agents called depository participants, more commonly referred to as DPs. If you want to use the services of a depository then you need to open an account with a DP, which is similar to opening an account with a bank branch.
