## 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.
