    Read more about Power of Attorney - Explained with Examples

    /article/power-of-attorney-for-demat-account-explained-faq/310/

    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:

    • Block/lien/pledge securities for margin requirement
    • Transfer charges on your Demat account to your trading ledger

    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:

    • It's a limited PoA. It gives only certain permission to the broker.
    • SEBI and the stock exchanges regulate the transactions.
    • The broker cannot change customer information, withdrew shares without customer knowledge or misuse the demat account in any way.
    • The customer can revoke the limited PoA at any time.
    • The customer gets SMS alerts and account statements form Depository (CDSL and NSDL) for every transaction in demat account. This is beyond the broker's control.

     

  8. 8. Who can open a Demat account with SBICAP?

    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.

     

  9. 9. I already have a Demat account. Can I open another account with SBICAP?

    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.

    When you sell shares using your trading account, the money is deposited in the linked bank account and shares are withdrawn from the linked demat account.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.
