How does the account opening initiation process work?

The initiator has to complete the online form by filling in required information. You can read this document to view the required information.

Once all the information is duly filled and all documentary proof attached, the Initiator can submit the application online. If it is successfully submitted a PDF document with all information will be available for you to download.

The Initiator has to make sure the duly signed hard copy of the PDF is delivered to the selected stockbroker to finalize the process.
