Opening Demat Account

Hi all,
As i am new to trading i am thinking to open an demat account soon. Please guide me in opening it. Many of them told me Sharekhan is more affordable and good. I do have an saving account in ICICI. So someone told me to go with ICICI Direct.
Help me to select between these both . Also nice if i would get a comparision between both.

Thanks and Regards,
Gangaprasad

Sharekhan is good and affordable - Even u can go for any other brokerage account but not ICICI Direct (its minus points : High Brokerage + Old online HTML Trading method)

Dear Ganga Prasad,

The brokerage wise I think Reliance money is OK. But the software they have is pathetic. Do not get lured and open with Reliance money. Can any one tell me how much brokerage Sharekhan is charging?

Dear shailankaj,
I guess they charge Rs 300 yearly, ask to give a cheque of 5000 initially to open account. For brokrage on trading they charge .50 paise on buy/sell of Rs 100.

I think UniconIndia provides the best trading services in India. Find the lowest brokerage and free online trading software for stock trading in Indian stock market. Their software is very user-friendly and easy to operate.

Could anyone please advice if they have had any personal experience with any of the above?

please note u can open the trading account with hdfcsec but demat and saving account has to be with hdfc bank only.
