How To Open A Free Brokerage Account

A Demat account is mandatory to trade in the Indian stock markets. Opened with a depository participant, a Demat account is a virtual locker that facilitates buying and selling of stocks in the stock market. However, prior to dematerialisation, the process of opening a Demat account was quite cumbersome as you had to visit the broker’s office with physical forms and documents. But with the advent of technology, opening a Demat account can be done from the comfort of your home and without any physical paperwork. But wait, instead of opening a Demat account, what if you could open a free brokerage (Demat) account?

A free demat account, like the one provided by m.Stock, allows you to trade in equity delivery, mutual funds and IPOs without any brokerage. This is different to the standard Demat accounts offered by other brokers where you are charged brokerage on every trade. This typically ranges from 0.01% - 0.05% of the total trade value or flat fee of ₹20 per executed order. Over the years, the total brokerage paid can burn a hole in your pocket (returns). Hence, opening a free demat account is the best choice for your financial future. Calculate your brokerage savings with m.Stock.
