Can a minor’s demat/trading account be continued when he/she becomes a major?

No, a minor’s demat/trading account cannot be continued as-is once the individual turns 18. It must be converted into an individual account in the name of the now-major individual.

If the account was earlier linked to the guardian’s contact details (email or mobile number), the client must update it with their own contact information and submit the following documents to complete the conversion process:
