It is compulsory for every investor to go through the IPV process before they wish to open a trading or demat account with the broker.
It is compulsory for all the investors to get their IPV done in order to open a trading or demat account. This procedure makes it easier for the brokers to verify the person holding in their trading and demat account. The account holder or the investor is required to submit certain documents in order to prove their identity by providing the documents that are issued by the government such as Identity card, Address proof, etc. to establish their identity.
