Stock trading involves 3 different accounts:
SBI Demat Account holds securities in the digital form. It works like a bank account. As the bank account holds money, the Demat account holds securities. The securities such as Shares, Mutual Funds, and shares allocated through IPO etc.
The shares are credited into demat account every time the customer buys new securities and is debited when they sell it.
The central depositories (CDSL and NSDL) manage the Demat account. The broker like SBO only acts as an intermediary between you and the central depository.
SBI Trading Account is used for stock trading (buying and selling of the shares). Customer place orders for buy or sell equity shares in trading account online or over the call.
SBI Bank Account is for credit/debit of money for transactions done in the trading account. When the customer buys the share, the money is withdrawn from the bank account. When the customer sells the shares, the money received is credited in the SBI Bank account.
Trading is done in Trading Account. The Demat and Bank accounts provide shares and money needed.
It takes 3 working days after your documents reached to SBI to open your account. If you do not get a response in 3 days, you could check your application status online or by visiting the branch.
You could check SBI Demat account opening status by visiting the Customer Service webpage of SBI Smart website. Application reference number and PAN number is required to check the application status online.
You could also check the SBI Account Opening Status by visiting the branch or calling the customer service.
Once SBI Demat account is opened, a welcome Letter is sent to the customer. This welcome letter has all the account details like DP number, Bank account number and Client Code.
A separate letter is sent with the password for online trading and the demat account. Your account is activated as soon as you login in the account. You could start trading once you are logged in to an online trading account.

The PoA allows the broker to withdrew the shares from your demat account to deliver it to the buyer when you sell them through your trading account.
The limited PoA also helps with:
In a way, signing the PoA smoothens and quickens the trading process and management of your securities.
Is Demat PoA to the broker is safe?
Yes, it is for the following reasons:
All resident Indians, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Institutions can open a Demat account.
A minor can also open an SBI Demat account. The legal guardian operates the account on his behalf till the minor becomes a major. Documents (PAN and Aadhar) of the legal guardian are required at the time of SBI minor Demat account opening. The Guardian has to sign on the forms too.
An individual can open multiple demat accounts on his/her name. But only 1 demat account is allowed per depository participant.
If you have a demat account with some other broker then you could open another demat account with SBI. This won't cause any problems as both these demat accounts work totally independent. This is similar to you having saving bank account in two or more banks on your name.
If you already have a Demat Account with SBI, you cannot open another demat account with them.
Note that Demat accounts attract Account Maintenance Charges (AMC), so it is better to open accounts as per your trading needs. Brokers charge between Rs 300 to Rs 1200 AMC every year.
Yes, you can open a joint demat account in SBI. You can include up to 3 people in a demat account. One will be the main holder of the account whereas others would be called joint holders.
It is mandatory to link the bank account with the Demat account. All bonuses, dividends etc., earned by your securities will be credited to this account.
Trading or investing in the stock market requires 3 accounts:
When you buy shares using your trading account, the money is withdrawn from the linked bank account and the shares are deposited in the liked demat account.
When you sell shares using your trading account, the money is deposited in the linked bank account and shares are withdrawn from the linked demat account.
SBICAP offers a 3-in-1 account i.e. a trading, a Demat and a bank account linked to each other. It doesn't offer to open only a trading account.
If you already have an SBI bank account then you don't have to open another one. You can specify the existing account detail in the form. This will be linked with your trading and demat account. In case you don't have an SBI Bank account, an account will be opened with the trading account.
SBI Demat and/or trading account can be closed by submitting an Account Close Request Form. This form has to be submitted physically.
There are 2 ways to deactivate your SBI Demat account:
Documents for SBI Demat Account Closure

Before you close the account
You don't have to pay any charges to close your Demat account. You have to clear all the pending dues before initiating the Demat account closure process.
