What Are Depositories?

A depository is like a digital locker for your shares. In the past, shares were physical certificates, easy to lose or forge.

Now, depositories hold your shares in electronic (demat) form, making trading safer and hassle-free.

In India, there are two main depositories: NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited) and CDSL (Central Depository Services Limited). 

When you buy shares, they’re credited to your demat account, just like money in a bank account. 

This system reduces paperwork, eliminates risks of theft or loss, and makes transferring shares quick and easy for Indian investors.
