SEBI has rationalised the cost structure for dematerialisation by removing account opening charges, transaction charges (for credit or buy transactions of securities), custody charges and account closing charges. Custody charges are now paid by the issuer companies. Broadly, investors are required to pay the charges towards:-
-
Dematerialisation and Rematerialisation of their securities
-
Annual account maintenance charges
-
Transactions fees (only for sell transactions
DPs may collect dematerialization charges together with postage / courier charges. The charges differ from one DP to another.
