For example you have cash in physical form which can be deposited in to your bank account and the same is represented as an entry in your pass book. This is as good as your holding cash.

Similarly we were holding shares and other securities in physical form earlier. For every transaction these certificates have to be physically delivered. This involves lot of labour and paper work. These securities will be reduced to an entry into the demat account and transactions become easy.

For trading in shares this account was made compulsory.
