Open Your Demat Account

A Demat (Dematerialised) account is the digital vault that holds your investments — shares, mutual funds, bonds, ETFs, and more. Combined with a Trading account, it gives you the ability to buy and sell securities on NSE and BSE. With Shriram Financial Services, both accounts are opened simultaneously, fully online, in under 10 minutes.

Step-by-Step: How to Open Your Account

• Step 1 — Start Online: Visit our account opening portal (linked below) and enter your mobile number and PAN. An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile for verification.
• Step 2 — Fill Your Details: Provide your personal details — full name (as on PAN), date of birth, address (as on Aadhaar), bank account number and IFSC code.
• Step 3 — Upload Documents: Upload a clear photo of your PAN card, Aadhaar (front and back), and a cancelled cheque or bank statement. All uploads are encrypted and processed securely.
• Step 4 — Complete Video KYC: Complete a 2-minute live video KYC call with our verification officer. This replaces the need to visit a branch — fully remote and available 9 AM to 6 PM, Mon–Sat.
• Step 5 — Sign Digitally: Sign your account opening documents using Aadhaar-based e-Sign (OTP on mobile). No physical signature required.
• Step 6 — Account Activated: Your Demat and Trading account is activated within 24 hours of successful KYC. You will receive your Client ID, trading credentials, and Antara platform access via email and SMS.

Documents Required

• PAN Card (mandatory for all investors)
• Aadhaar Card (for address proof and e-Sign)
• Bank account details — cancelled cheque or 3-month bank statement
• A passport-size photograph (can be uploaded from your phone)
