Short answer

The Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA) is a SEBI facility for eligible retail investors. On Arrow, your demat account is held with iRage Broking Services LLP (CDSL DP).

When an account is treated as BSDA

Typically, a demat account can be categorised as BSDA when:

  1. You have only one demat account registered with your PAN across depositories/brokers (check via your Consolidated Account Statement).
  2. The value of holdings in the account stays within the BSDA limits notified by SEBI / reflected in the tariff sheet.

If you stop meeting BSDA eligibility, the account may be converted to the regular demat scheme.
