Difference Between Trading Account And Demat Account

Over the decades India has moved to electronic trading in stock markets. A person interested to trade in stock markets should have a trading account. Trading account is the way of buying and selling of stock transactions. Whereas a demat account is the place to store the stocks bought by a person.
For example: If you want to buy 100 shares of wipro and would like to sell it off when the market closes, you will need a trading account to do so. Or if you would like to hold the shares in your account, these 100 shares of wipro will be stored in our demat account. The buy transactions are done through the trading account but the shares will be stored in your demat account.
Each trading account will have a trading ID which will be used by the exchanges to identify every transactions made.
