Holding Government Securities :-

Government securities can be held by individuals in demat form, in the same manner as they hold shares in a demat account. To be able to purchase a government security an individual must have a demat account with any depository participant of National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL). If the individual already has a demat account with any NSDL depository participant for shares, the same account can be used for holding government securities also.
