- Your email address should be registered with HDFC Securities so to accept your mail as your personal confirmation.
- You should be a Sole Holder of your Demat Account.
- 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:
- Demat Account Number ( i.e. Client ID ) & DP ID
