In a major relief to those who are looking to invest in the stock markets, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that a demat account can be opened using an Adhaar card.

Currently, opening demat requires six different types of documents that makes it a cumbersome process. Now, Sitharaman has eased it.
