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 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.
