Consolidation of demat accounts

In order to streamline securities holdings scattered across demat accounts opened at different points in time, you can close the inactive or zero balance accounts and transfer all securities in other demat accounts to only one account. This consolidation can help you save annual fees and charges on multiple demat accounts. Closing a demat account requires the demat account holder to visit the DP office or branch and submit the requisite form and documents. Here's how to go about it.

Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS)

A DIS is like a cheque leaf that enables an off-market transfer of securities from one demat account to another. It needs to be filled in and signed, before being handed over to the depository participant's office.

Details

The DIS will hold the unique ISIN of the demat holdings that are being consolidated, the name of the security, and the details of the source and target demat accounts and DP ID. The DIS has to be signed by holders of the demat account as per the mode of operations.

Transfer

The off-market transaction will be put through by the system, and if the target account has the same account holders, there will be no tax implications. The demat account and the DP ID will be modified in the records of the depository, but the beneficial owners will remain the same.

Closure

After the transfers have been completed and credit to the single demat account has been confirmed, all demat accounts with zero balance can be closed by submitting an account closure form.


Securities with a lock-in or lien cannot be transferred.

Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is not payable for off-market transactions.

How to Decide your asset allocation with Mutual Funds?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) How to Decide your asset allocation ? The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks. And when stocks crash to low levels, fear makes him redeem his investments. But there are a few funds that avoid this risk by continuously changing the asset mix of their portfolios. Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations. Our top pick is the Franklin Templeton Dynamic PE Ratio Fund, a fund of funds that divides its corpus between two schemes from the same fund house-the...

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Benefits Of Repo Rate & CRR Rate Cut On Consumers

  How Reduction In Repo Rate & CRR Affects Customers Finally  RBI announced slashing of repo rate by 25 basis points (bps ) and cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 25 bps which industry experts believe will fuel the economic growth to some extent. Although experts were expecting higher rate cut this year. This lowering of the rate cuts has taken place for the first time in nine months. Now let's see how reducing the repo rate (defined in economic term as the rate at which RBI lends money to the banks) relates to the following individuals and sectors: Banking:   Lowering of repo rate directly reduces borrowing costs of a bank. Banks in turn reduces interest rates on different types of loans such as home, auto, business etc. Similarly trimming down of CRR allows banks to unlock money for lending to the customers i.e. with 0.25 rate cut banks are estimated to lend more than INR. 17 Crores. Consumers:   Lower repo rate does not necessarily benefit existing loan borrowers but new loan se...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.

Seven things to remember in any bear run

  The year 2008 was a unkind to investors so far. Many have suffered huge losses. It's worth reminding ourselves of basic lessons that every retail investor ought to keep in mind to avoid, or at least minimise, losses in one's portfolio. 1. High rewards don't come without taking high risk. During a bull market, retail investors get taken in by the rise in the stock market. They don't want to be left out. So, they rush in and buy in an indiscriminate way, without realising that they might be taking on too much risk. Remember, if you chase high returns, high risk will follow you. Let's take the example of publicly-listed real estate sector in India. The industry has a very favourable long-term future. However, the rapid rise in the sector's stock prices over the past year made a short-term investment in these stocks a risky bet. As it turns out, the risks have been borne out and this sector has collapsed spectacularly. Understand your own risk profile and how ...
