The number of Demat accounts in India has been growing steadily, even during periods of market uncertainty.

The growth in Demat accounts is a sign of continued interest from retail investors in the stock market.
A Demat account is a digital account that holds securities like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. It's similar to a bank account, but instead of money, it stores financial securities.
The advantage of a Demat account is that it is secure and reduces the risk of theft or forgery. It is also convenient as one can open a Demat account online and access it through a mobile app or NetBanking.
Besides, Demat accounts enable the electronic transfer of shares, which makes trades faster. They also confer the advantage of consolidating all investments in one place which makes it easier to monitor them.
CDSL was set up in 1999 and plays a crucial role as the Indian Market Infrastructure Institution (MII), facilitating electronic holding and transaction of securities and facilitating settlement of trades. It provides services to a broad spectrum of capital market entities, including depository participants, issuers, investors, RTAs, clearing corporations, and exchanges.
