Without a Demat account, it is now impossible to invest in the stock market. It was mandated in 2014 by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). So it becomes crucial to choose a Demat account that best meets your needs.

Before diving into the Sharekhan brokerage services, let's first grasp some fundamental ideas.

Five Demat account costs you should be aware of

Types of accounts :

Basic service accounts and full-service accounts are the two sorts of Demat accounts, and the fees you pay depend on whatever type of account you have.

1. Account Opening Fees : Any DP, including banks, stock brokers, and online investing platforms, allows you to create a Demat account. Each option may have a different cost for starting an account.

2. Brokerage Charges : When you purchase and sell shares, you pay for the services provided. There are various brokerage fees used by different DPs. The majority of brokers typically charge brokerage as a percentage.

3. Annual maintenance charges (AMCs) : To keep your account active, you must make a yearly payment in a set amount. Before selecting a particular solution, you should think about this vital element. AMC is what most DPs bill. A few companies, meanwhile, tend to waive the fees for the first year and then charge based on the volume of transactions that are made during that year.

4. Charges and services : For owners of Demat accounts, several DPs provide a wide range of services. However, to use the services you will have to pay a service fee.
