CDSL was set up with the objective of providing convenient, dependable and secure depository services at affordable cost to all market participants.
Central Depository Services Limited (“CDSL”) was found in 1999 to fulfil one goal: Convenient, Dependable and secured depository services. Over two decades later, everything we have done – the values we have built on, dematerialisation of various asset classes, e-services – have all been in support of that singular goal, at an affordable cost.
We are a Market Infrastructure Institution (MII) and a crucial part of the Capital market structure, providing services to all Market participants - Exchanges, Clearing Corporations, Depository Participants (DPs), Issuers and Investors.
A Depository is a facilitator for holding of securities in the dematerialised form and an enabler for securities transactions.
