Can I link an existing Demat account to my FYERS trading account?
No, linking an external Demat account to your FYERS trading account isn’t supported. To trade with FYERS, both the trading and Demat accounts need to be opened with FYERS.
If you already have a FYERS Trading account, opening your Demat account is quick, fully online, and paperless. You can complete the process through https://signup.fyers.in in under 10 minutes, provided your mobile number is linked to Aadhaar.
