The Ministry of Communications today signed an agreement with Stock Holding Services Limited (SSL) to promote access to regulated capital market services for citizens across the country. The Ministry said the collaboration seeks to leverage the reach and trust of India Post to encourage wider participation of citizens in organised and regulated capital markets.

Under this, citizens will be able to access SSL’s services through digital utilities such as onboarding links and QR codes made available through official platforms and at selected post office locations. The services also include opening of demat and trading accounts, mutual fund investments, participation in IPOs, and other permitted investment products.

As part of the agreement, SSL will conduct investor education and financial literacy programs, with the support of the Department of Posts, to promote informed participation in financial markets, particularly among first-time investors and citizens in rural and semi-urban areas. Stock Holding Services Limited is a SEBI-registered Corporate Stock Broker providing safe and reliable services to all institutional and retail clients across the country.
