Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

A demat account for minor is a SEBI-regulated demat account opened in the name of a person below 18 years of age. The account is managed and operated by the minor’s natural guardian (parent or court-appointed guardian) until the minor reaches majority. A demat account for minor can hold equity shares, bonds, units of mutual funds and securities received through inheritance or corporate actions. While the minor owns the securities, all transaction authorisations must come from the guardian. On reaching age 18, the account must be updated to a regular account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
