Elements of Central Depository System

Account HoldersAccount Holders are divided into two categories:1. Account Holder 2. ParticipantBoth have direct access to CDS.
All the members of Stock Exchanges, Banks ( Both Commercial and Investment ), and DFIs are allowed to open their account as Participants whereas, Corporate Bodies such as Leasing Companies, Modarabas and Insurance Companies can open their account as Account Holders.
Account StructureMain Account: Each Account Holder in the system will be allocated a main account by virtue of being an Account Holder in the CDS. This account will mainly be used as a transit account for movement of securities. Any security coming in or moving out of an account holder's family of accounts will pass through this account. House Account: Used for securities owned beneficially by Account Holders.
Account StructureSub-account (Client Account): used for keeping securities belonging individually to each of those clients of a Participant who require their securities to be kept in a Sub Account.
Investor Accounts: Investor accounts are accounts which can be opened and maintained by CDC Investor Account Services.
Issuers / RegistrarsThe issuers of capital whose securities are converted from physical to electronic book entry system play a significant role in Central Depository System. They will also have direct access to the CDS. After a security is declared eligible for the purpose of Central Depository System, necessary software and CDS connection is provided to that particular issuer upon signing the Issuers Agreement with CDC. The shares are entered into CDS only after proper verification by these issuers or their registrar. This process eliminates the problem of fake/duplicate/lost/stolen share certificates as issuers thoroughly check them before approving for CDS.
