How much time does it usually take to process Demat account applications?,
With full online eKYC (Aadhaar, PAN, bank link, e‑sign), most Demat accounts are activated the same day—often within 10–30 minutes to a few hours.
If manual verification/IPV or data mismatches occur, expect 1–3 business days; joint/HUF/NRI accounts can take longer.
