dematerialization44With the introduction of new technologies trading in the stock market has changed a lot. Earlier when BSE was formed in 1875 at that time traders and investors used to stand on floor and shout prices of stocks for buying and selling. The money was exchanged between buyer and seller and a physical copy in the form of certificate was issued to the buyer.The entire process was very time-consuming. In 1996 concept of dematerialization was introduced in share market. Physical copies of shares were replaced by electronic form and were credited and debited from the Demat account of a trader.

Following are the benefits offered by dematerialization :

1)Common bank
In Demat account along with shares, other financial instruments like bonds can be stored as well. Traders can use the same account to trade in stocks and bonds both.

2)Time and cost
To deliver a physical copy of shares cost is involved and also it takes the time to do so. With dematerialization, this cost and time can be saved.

3)Easy to hold
Earlier traders need to keep a physical copy of shares safely as they are vulnerable to damage and theft. With Demat account, traders need not worry of losing shares as they are safely added to their account and removed when they sell them.
