How to consolidate demat accounts: Step-by-step guide
Many investors end up opening multiple demat accounts. However, managing several accounts can lead to complications like higher maintenance costs, difficulty in tracking investments, and excess paperwork.

The first step towards consolidating demat accounts is to review all accounts, noting the depository participant (DP), charges, and holdings. Identify inactive or unnecessary accounts and choose the one you wish to retain.
Transfer to chosen account
The next step is to transfer shares from other accounts to the chosen account. The process of transferring securities between demat accounts involves an off-market transfer.If both accounts are under the same depository (either NSDL or CDSL), fill out the delivery instruction slip (DIS) of the transferring account and submit it to your DP.If the accounts are with different depositories, an inter-depository instruction (IDI) is required, which is similar to the DIS, but with additional details.Ensure that the transfers are done in batches to prevent errors. Also, confirm that the shares have been credited to the primary account before closing the other account.Close unwanted accounts
After transferring, close the inactive or unnecessary demat accounts. To close a demat account, submit an account closure form to your DP. Ensure that all holdings have been transferred and there are no outstanding dues.
