Equity Delivery

Equity delivery, also known as delivery trading or long-term investing, involves the purchase of shares with the intention of holding them for the long term. After the settlement period, the shares are transferred to the investor’s Demat account. For example, if you buy 10 HDFC shares on Tuesday, the trade is settled on Wednesday, and the shares will be delivered to your Demat account. This process ensures that the investor owns the shares, and they can hold or sell them at their discretion in the future.
