To close the HDFC Securities Demat account digitally the process is quite simple but not published on their official website. During pandemic times, it’s not safe to visit the branch in person and do the formalities. Hence, I’m sharing the procedure for how you can close the account from the comfort of your home.

To get the Demat account closed online you need to fulfill a few conditions:

  1. Your email address should be registered with HDFC Securities so to accept your mail as your personal confirmation.
  2. You should be a Sole Holder of your Demat Account.
  3. Your Demat account should not have any holding nor any outstanding depository participant charges pending.

Provided you’re fulfilling the above conditions then you can drop a mail from your registered email address to Dematclosures@hdfcbank.com

Your mail should contain all this information so that the operation team can process the closure of the account in one go:

In case you have provided all information as suggested then in the next 5 working days the account will be closed and the same will be intimated to you in writing.
