What is Dematerialization and what are the benefits of having a demat account?
Dematerialization is the process of allowing investors to convert their physical shares into digital format and they are held in a Demat account. Dematerialization eliminates the risks like certificate forgeries, loss of important share certificates, and consequent delays in certificate transfers.
The benefits of having a demat account are:
- Safety and security
- Faster and smoother settlements
- Reduction in errors
- Easy Transmission
- Better liquidity and monetisation
- Corporate Gains
- One-stop storage for all assets
- Central point for updating information
