Earlier, it used to take around 60 days to buy/sell stocks in stock markets, and the investor also had to go through loads of paperwork. But thanks to the Internet, this wait has been curbed, and in the last ten years, Indian capital markets have recorded 1488% of growth in exchange turnover.
As a result, the total number of demat accounts in India has now increased to 10.6 crores (100.6 million) in November 2022, 37% higher than a year earlier.
