How To Transfer Money From Demat Account to Bank Account?

It is no secret that the value of money does not increase on its own. For your wealth to grow, you must save money and invest it in profitable avenues. For decades, one of the most sought after investment avenues that has captivated the interest of investors is the stock market. You can easily transfer funds from your bank account to your trading account to invest in instruments like shares, debentures, exchange traded funds, and mutual funds etc. Alternatively, you can also transfer money from your Demat account to bank account after booking profits or any other withdrawals.

What is a Demat account?

A Demat account is a digital locker or account that holds your securities in electronic form. It is akin to a bank locker that keeps physical assets like cash, jewelry etc. safe. When you purchase any securities from the stock market, whether it is shares, bonds, or debentures, they get credited to your Demat account. Similarly, when you sell stocks, the securities are debited from your Demat account. Simultaneously, your trading account is debited (when you sell stocks) and credited (when you buy stocks). A third type of account is equally important to ensure seamless transactions - bank account.

Here is how a typical buy transaction takes place in the stock market

• Funds are transferred from bank account to trading account

• Once the buy order goes through, the shares are credited to your Demat account

• Simultaneously, funds are debited from your trading account.

• Assuming you sell these shares, the money will then be credited to your trading account. You can easily transfer funds from trading account to your bank account.
