What is a Trading
Account?
A trading account is an interface that allows
buying and selling of equity shares in a stock market. It acts as an interface between
the investors’ bank and Demat accounts. Shares purchased through this account
are credited to one’s Demat account.
Sold shares are debited from the Demat account and sales proceeds are credited
to the bank account. There is no restriction on the number of Demat accounts
that an individual can avail.
How does a Trading Account work?
A trading
account acts like a link between demat account and bank account of an investor. When an
investor wants to buy shares, he places an order through his trading account.
The said transaction goes for processing in the stock exchange. Upon execution,
the required number of shares get credited into his demat account and a
proportionate sum gets deducted from his the bank account.
A similar
kind of process is followed in order to sell equity shares.
The investor places a sale order for say 100 shares with the help of his
trading account. It goes for processing in the relevant stock exchange. When the order is executed, the required number
of shares are debited from his demat account and a proportionate sum gets
credited to his bank account.
