Demat Account is a part of the trading account which NRI opens to trade in the Indian stock market online. Demat Accounts are used to hold the shares in electronic form.

As of now no bank offers to open a Demat account online. But you can access the bank websites and third party service providers such as Zerodha, where you can apply for a demat account and send the required documents to them via courier.

 

If you choose to not go through with any third party website, you either need to visit the bank branch in India or send the required documents to the branch in India via courier.

The documents required to open a Demat account online for NRIs are:
