HDFC Securities Limited is one of India’s premier broking houses and is promoted by the HDFC Group. HDFC Securities provides Online Trading in both Equity & Derivatives Segment on NSE & BSE.

It is a service that enables you to buy or sell equity shares, debentures, mutual fund units or related financial instruments. The brokerage house receives a commission for trading in such securities.

Till the 1990s, buying or selling of financial instruments used to happen in a physical sense. Not only there was a need to verbally express every transaction, but there were also various documents that had to be exchanged between the user (may be a buyer or a seller) and the service provider each time a transaction took place.

A user also had to complete formalities (like attaching transfer stamps on the security, putting multiple signatures, writing the postal address etc.) each time there was a transfer of ownership. The user then would inform the issuer of the security (mostly by post with the original documents, stamped & signed) if he wanted to register as the owner of the said security.

In the 1990s, NSE introduced screen-based trading, where the buying and selling would take place on the exchange’s electronic system. Subsequently, the BSE too introduced screen-based trading. Over the next few years, only dematerialised shares were allowed to be traded on the stock exchanges, doing away with maintaining reams of paper.

E-broking is the process of buying or selling securities through the Internet. To trade online, you need to have access to a personal computer (with a modem), a telephone and an Internet account with any one of the Internet service providers. HDFCsec.com as a brokerage house offers users an interface on the Internet (what you see when you log on to our site) and also offers the required guidance for them to place buy or sell orders over the Internet. In India, the NSE and BSE allow brokerage houses like HDFCsec.com that are registered with the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to offer e-broking facilities to their users.
