ST sir and others, is it better to go with 3 in 1 account (like hdfc securities ,kotak) than 2 in 1 account ( like zerodha). This account is only to buy during good correction which we get once or twice a year and not for frequent trading. Keeping money in savings account gives small amount of intrest also it's better than keeping it idle in a 3rd party account.
Nowadays money does not stay idle in in 3rd party a/c forever.
There is Quarterly settlement of non utilized cash funds and also a 30 day no activity settlement.
If you want savings rate, you can keep in liquid bees/ETFs as well. You can park in any Debt MF as well because deep correction is not a 1-2 day event. There is enough time to redeem and fund the a/c.
So choose a stable/reliable broker that you prefer. To be honest, this 3-in-1 a/c is for the over-leveraged gambler who needs funds both sides
I have enough funds for emergency at arm's length and credit sources too, and the Trading capital is meant for trading and not for personal expenses. Some Brokers already have, others are focusing on instant unpledge which can potentially save a day.
