How do I open a minor demat account?

Demat account can be opened in the name of a minor. The account will be operated by a guardian till the minor becomes major.

The guardian is legally entitled to open, operate and even close the bank account, demat account and trading account on the minor's name. For a minor demat account, two KYC Application Forms must be filled i.e. one for the guardian and another for the minor. Minor Trading Accounts are only allowed to invest in the stock market (Equity Delivery Trades only). They are not allowed to trade in Equity Intraday, Equity Derivative Trading (F&O), Currency Derivatives (F&O).
