Can I open a trading account without opening a demat account?
Yes, opening a Demat account with FYERS is mandatory for all clients who wish to trade or invest in equities, ETFs, or mutual funds. Your Demat account is essential for holding the securities you purchase.
Why is a FYERS Demat account required?
A Demat account at FYERS is linked to your Trading account and enables you to buy, sell, and hold financial instruments in electronic form. Without it, you cannot participate in equity-based transactions or mutual fund investments.
When you open a Trading–Demat account with FYERS, you get access to these market segments:
- Equity Delivery
- Equity Intraday
- Equity Derivatives (F&O)
- Currency Derivatives (F&O)
- Commodity Derivatives (F&O)
- Mutual Funds
What if...
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| I already have a Demat account with another broker | You’ll still need to open a FYERS Demat account, as FYERS only supports internal Demat accounts for equity and mutual fund trades |
| I want to trade only in derivatives | You still need to open a FYERS Trading account, but a Demat is not required for derivatives-only trading |
| I’m unsure how to proceed | You can request a callback or reach out directly for help |
Mutual fund and equity investments require a FYERS Demat account to hold your units and shares securely.
