A Demat account holds your shares in electronic form, and Mero Share (run by CDSC) is the online portal to apply for IPOs, rights and to view your holdings. You open both through a Depository Participant (DP) — usually a bank or a stock broker.
Documents Required
- Citizenship certificate (copy).
- Passport-size photos.
- Bank account details (for ASBA linking).
- Filled DP account-opening form.
How to Open
- Choose a DP — a bank or broker that offers Demat services.
- Submit the form and documents to open your Demat account.
- Request Mero Share access — the DP provides your Mero Share username and details.
- Set your Mero Share password and transaction PIN on first login.
- Link your bank (CRN) for ASBA so you can apply for IPOs.
Using Mero Share
- My ASBA: apply for IPOs, FPOs and rights shares.
- My Portfolio / Holdings: see all shares you own.
- Application Report: check the status and results of your applications.
✅ Keep your CRN number and transaction PIN safe — you need both every time you apply for an IPO.
💡 Once set up, applying for an IPO takes about two minutes. See our IPO apply guide.
