Before you close your demat account, there are a few things you should know.

It's important to note that a demat account cannot be closed solely via an online request for account closure via email. You must make an application in person, along with a hard copy of all the documentation. However, you can speed up the process by uploading the closure form online.

When uploading your closure form, make sure to provide the following information:

• Both your ID and the DP ID are needed.

• Explain that the Demat account is being closed.
• The self-attested identification evidence copy must be submitted and checked by a bank official. It is a requirement.
