    What are the Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC)?

    The Annual Maintenance Charge (AMC) for an ICICI Direct Demat Account is:

    > ₹700 per year + applicable taxes

    > Waived for the first year

    > Applicable from the second year onwards

    For small investors who do not invest regularly or frequently in the stock market, SEBI has introduced an exclusive demat account called Basic Services Demat Account [BSDA].

    SEBI states that only one account can be opened under the BSDA category. You will need to be the first/primary/sole holder of the account. Besides, you cannot hold any other demat account with you being the primary holder across any depository. 

    To qualify for the BSDA category, the value of your securities held in your demat account must not exceed Rs. 10 lakhs at any time. Here, it is essential to remember that your demat account has a cutoff date. So, the balance in your account must consistently be under Rs. 10 lakhs to prevent its conversion back into a standard demat account.

    You can choose to convert your existing demat account to the BSDA category, provided you do not hold any other demat account under the same PAN card as the sole holder.

    Cost benefits of a BSDA 

    > On holdings worth up to Rs. 4 lakhs, you do not need to pay AMC charges on your BSDA.

    > If your holdings are in the range of Rs. 4 lakhs to 10 lakhs, you will need to pay AMC charges with or without Power of Attorney [POA] at Rs. 100.

    > Suppose the holdings go above Rs. 10 lakhs. In that case, you will have to give an Annual Maintenance Charge depending on the rates offered by your Depository Participant applicable to regular [non-BSDA] demat from that date onwards.
