The Demat Account Statement
A Demat account is like a digital vault. It holds your shares, bonds, mutual funds, and other financial instruments electronically. Think of a Demat account like your savings bank account. Just as you can check your bank balance, view weekly or monthly statements, and track transactions on your smartphone, a Demat account allows you to view all your holdings (shares, bonds, mutual funds), profits, losses, and transaction history in one place.
This digital account holds your securities in electronic form and acts as a gateway to the stock market. Whether through a broker’s platform, mobile app, or the depository’s website, this statement is your go-to resource for tracking investments.
When you operate a Demat account through a Depository Participant (DP), you gain access to a trading portal, either via a mobile app or a website. This portal offers:
- Demat Holding Statements: View details of your securities and their current status.
- Trading Insights: Get stock advice, charts, and strategies.
- Activity Tracking: Monitor your profits, losses, and transaction summaries.
For more comprehensive details, you can access your Demat account statement through the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) or National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) platforms.
