11 Best Demat & Trading Account In India 2017 Review
& Comparison
(Last Updated: Feb 2017)
I opened my rst demat account in 2006 just after getting my rst job. I was excited to invest in the stock markets. I had my
salary account with ICICI and it was damn easy to get a demat and trading account with ICICI bank.
But later I realised that ICICI charges a hell lot of charges for trading and delivery of shares into account. I still kept using ICICI
for a couple of years. Why? Because my trading volume was very low and my overall investment in stock market was less than
1,00,000 rupees.
It was easy to transfer funds from my saving account to demat account, so the high transaction charges did not bother me.
Know the dierence between demat and trading account before investing.

Know the dierence between demat and trading account before investing.
A trading account is used to place buy or sell orders in the stock market. Demat means dematerialising shares into digital
format rather than on physical paper. Thedemat account is used as a bank where shares bought are deposited in, and
where shares sold are taken from. You will get a single account for demat & trading.

Would appreciate if you can explain your reasoning behind this statement about zerodha You should not open Zerodha
account just because it oers lowest rates. I do not have any account with Zerodha because I am not a trader. You should
open Zerodha if your trade volume is more than 1Cr per year.
Note: I am a rst time investor (read volume-less-than-1cr-per-year) and am inclined towards zerodha.

Zerodha account is primarily focused on low cost trading. If your volumes are low, then you can get more benets from
other companies (like support, research, training, and softwares). However, zerodha is also good.. but the price should
not be the only criteria when selecting a demat account.

Hey this has been quite helpful. Did you consider Kotaks all in one dmat account when curating the list? If not, where do you
see them rank against the ones above?
