- Here's a detail of the new BSDA limits:
- Increased Threshold: The total value of securities you can hold in a BSDA has increased to ₹10 lakh.
- Lower Charges: There's no annual maintenance charge for a BSDA if your portfolio value is up to ₹4 lakh. A small ₹100 annual fee applies if your portfolio value is between ₹4 lakh and ₹10 lakh.
- Automatic Conversion: If your portfolio exceeds ₹10 lakh, your BSDA will automatically convert to a regular demat account, which may have different fee structures.
- This move by SEBI aims to make the stock market more accessible to small investors by reducing costs and simplifying the process.
