account is called Demat a/c. The idea behind the introduction of
demat a/c was to do away with the complex process of physical
trading where investores had to be present at the stock
exchange to buy and sell securities. With a demat a/c. SEBI
introduced the current form of online trading. Where investers
can buy and sell securities online and hold their investments
virtually in the demat a/c. But what about the shares investers
nought before 1996 which are held in the form of physical share
certification...

investers to convert their physical share into eletronic from through a demat
account.
