Yes — you can start, modify or pause SIPs and invest lumpsum across fund houses from the PCJ Invest app, with your holdings visible alongside your stocks.
No — we distribute them. Mutual funds are managed by their AMCs (PCJ is an AMFI-registered distributor, ARN-63632); PMS and AIF strategies are managed by SEBI-registered portfolio managers and AIF managers, with agreements executed directly between you and them. PCJ helps you select, execute and service these investments and may earn commission or referral fees from the product manufacturer, which are disclosed to you.
Your shares are held in your own Demat account with NSDL — not with us. Funds are settled through exchange-regulated channels, and PCJ is a SEBI-registered member of NSE, BSE and MCX. Read more on Safety & Security.
SEBI requires brokers to periodically re-verify client details (address, contact, income). If your details changed or your KYC is due, complete Re-KYC online at ekyc.pcjholdings.in to avoid account restrictions.
Submit a Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) with your certificates through our DP desk. The process and timelines are explained on the Physical to Demat page.

Opening an account with PCJ is 100% online and paperless. Keep your PAN card, Aadhaar (linked to your mobile number) and a cancelled cheque or bank statement ready. Fill the eKYC form at ekyc.pcjholdings.in, upload the documents, complete a quick selfie verification and e-sign with your Aadhaar OTP. The whole process takes about 15 minutes, and your account is usually activated within 24 to 48 working hours. A dedicated Relationship Manager is assigned to help you from day one.
The online form itself takes about 15 minutes. After you e-sign, our team verifies your documents and your account is typically activated within 24 to 48 working hours. You will receive your client code and login details by email and SMS as soon as the account is live.
Please see our Pricing page for the current account opening and annual maintenance charges — we keep the schedule transparent and updated there. Your Relationship Manager will also explain every charge before you begin, so there are no surprises later.
Yes, Non-Resident Indians can invest in Indian markets through the proper NRI route, which needs an NRE or NRO bank account and a few extra documents such as your passport and overseas address proof. The process has more steps than a resident account, so the easiest way is to request a call back — our team will guide you end to end.
Yes. You can open a new account with PCJ and transfer your existing holdings from your old broker. Shares move from demat to demat without selling, so there is no tax event on the transfer itself. Our team helps you with the closure-cum-transfer form of your old depository participant so the shift is smooth.
Your shares always remain in your own demat account at the depository, in your name — a broker cannot spend or lose them. Even in the unlikely event of a broker shutting down, your holdings stay with NSDL and can be moved to any other depository participant. This separation of assets is exactly why SEBI created the depository system.
DDPI stands for Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction. It is a limited authorisation that lets the broker debit shares from your demat account only when you actually sell them, or pledge them for margin if you choose. Unlike the old blanket Power of Attorney, it cannot be used for anything else. SEBI introduced DDPI to make investing safer, and PCJ follows this framework.
Never share your login password, OTP or UPI PIN with anyone — PCJ will never ask for them. Trade only through our official apps and website, and double-check any message that claims to be from PCJ; we communicate only through our official numbers and email IDs. Update your mobile number and email with us so you receive alerts for every transaction directly from the exchange and depository.
This is a SEBI-mandated safety feature. When shares move in or out of your demat account, NSDL informs you directly, and exchanges send you trade confirmations for your transactions. These alerts let you verify that everything happening in your account was authorised by you. Always read them, and contact us immediately if something looks unfamiliar.
