ICICIdirect demat account
ICICIdirect offers a 2-in-1 account (trading + demat). Your shares are held by the depository (CDSL / NSDL), not by the broker, so the broker has no ownership over your holdings.
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Demat account opening | ₹0 |
| Demat account AMC | ₹300 + GST per year |
| DP charges (per ISIN, sell) | NSDL – ₹20 + GST (first debit), ₹4 + GST (subsequent same-day debit); CDSL – ₹20 + GST per scrip sold per day |
BO ID & DP ID explained
Your BO ID (Beneficial Owner ID) is your 16-digit demat account number: the first 8 digits are the broker's DP ID (same for every customer of the broker), and the last 8 digits are your unique client ID. You will find it in your demat statement or the profile section of the app.
How to generate a TPIN
The CDSL/NSDL TPIN authorises sell trades and pledging. Generate it from the app profile → generate/reset TPIN; the depository sends the TPIN to your registered email and mobile, which you then use to authorise sell orders.
