A Demat & Trading account, which PCJ lets you open online in about 10 minutes.

No — you can hold delivery shares for as long as you wish, from a few days to several years.

A DP charge may apply per ISIN when you sell (debit) from your demat, as per the tariff.

Yes — holdings can be pledged for margin via the depository's OTP-based process.

There is no minimum. You can buy a single share, and many good companies trade at modest prices. If you prefer mutual funds, SIPs start from as little as ₹500 a month. What matters is starting early and staying regular — the amount can grow with your confidence.

In delivery trading you buy shares and hold them — they are credited to your demat account and remain yours until you sell. In intraday trading you buy and sell the same day, closing your position before the market shuts. Delivery builds long-term wealth; intraday is short-term trading that needs skill, discipline and strict stop losses.

Normal equity market hours on NSE and BSE are 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday, with a pre-open session from 9:00 to 9:15 AM. Markets are closed on exchange holidays — see our Market Holidays page for this year's full list and a live open/closed status.

A stop loss is an order that automatically exits your position if the price crosses a level you set, capping your loss. For traders it is essential — it turns an unlimited risk into a known, small one. Decide your exit level before you enter a trade, not after the price starts falling.

Yes, in most cases you can convert an intraday position to delivery before the market closes, provided you have the full funds for the purchase. The reverse is also possible subject to margins. Do note that conversion depends on the stock being available for delivery trades and on your available balance.

No. PCJ does not run a research desk and does not provide any investment advice, tips or recommendations. We provide the trading platform, market data and execution only; your Relationship Manager assists with account and service support, not with what to buy or sell. Every investment decision is entirely your own — SEBI registration and NISM certification do not guarantee returns, and no honest broker will promise them.

A Demat (dematerialised) account holds your shares, bonds, ETFs and other securities in electronic form, just like a bank account holds money. When you buy shares they are credited to it, and when you sell they are debited from it. PCJ opens your demat account with NSDL, India's first and largest depository.

The trading account is what you use to buy and sell on the exchange, while the demat account is where your securities are stored after the trade settles. They work as a pair: money and orders flow through the trading account, and shares rest in the demat account. PCJ opens both together in one application.

CAS stands for Consolidated Account Statement. It is a single monthly statement that shows all your holdings across NSDL, CDSL and your mutual funds in one place. It reaches you by email and is the easiest way to review everything you own, even if you have accounts with more than one broker.

Yes, and you should. Adding a nominee means your investments can be transmitted smoothly to your loved ones without lengthy paperwork. SEBI requires every demat account holder to either register a nominee or formally opt out. You can add or change a nominee online in a few minutes — ask your RM for the link.
