CDSL works as a financial securities depository in India. A Depository is responsible for holding securities (like shares, debentures, and mutual funds) in electronic form and enabling securities transactions.
CDSL is one of the two authorised depositories in India. NSDL is another depository.
The CDSL functions in the same way as a bank does. A bank is responsible for safeguarding an account holder's money. CDSL is in charge of protecting the financial securities of its investors.

CDSL is not a Government-owned company. It is a publicly traded and professionally managed company who is authorised by the Government of India to offer depository services in India
CDSL was promoted by the Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd (BSE Ltd) in February 1999. The company was listed at NSE in 2017 through IPO.
