Do we need a demat account to start investing in bonds?

hey, do we need a demat account to invest in bonds here?
or is it like FDs where money just stays in the bank?

Hi, yes, you do need a Demat account to invest in corporate bonds.
All bonds are held in your Demat, just like shares or ETFs.

Right now, BondScanner supports linking your existing Demat account.

We don’t offer Demat creation on the platform yet, but it’s something we’re actively exploring and plan to introduce in the future.
