Connecting to Sapphire
Aligning the stars
Open your account in minutes and start trading with the tools, insights, and support you need to make informed decisions.
Pune combines three economies in one city: the automotive and engineering belt of Pimpri-Chinchwad, the IT campuses of Hinjawadi and Kharadi, and an education sector dense enough to earn it the nickname Oxford of the East. That blend of students, engineers and industrialists makes Pune one of Maharashtra's most active cities for new demat accounts.
Sapphire Broking opens your trading account. Your demat account is opened and maintained by our DP partner, SMC Global Securities Limited (NSDL).
1. Sign up online
Start at signup.sapphirebroking.com with your mobile number and email. No paperwork, no branch visit.
2. Verify PAN + Aadhaar
KYC runs digitally against your PAN and Aadhaar. Keep your Aadhaar-linked mobile handy for the OTP.
3. Link your bank
Add the bank account you will trade from - a cancelled cheque or statement is enough.
4. eSign and go live
eSign the application with an Aadhaar OTP. Your trading account opens with Sapphire and your demat account is opened by our DP partner SMC Global Securities Limited (NSDL) - most accounts are activated within 24 hours.
Sapphire is an online-first broker - account opening, trading and support all happen digitally, so there is no branch queue anywhere in Pune. Our registered office is in Nagpur, Maharashtra.

No, there is no Sapphire branch in Pune. We are online-first - our only physical office is the registered office in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Everything from KYC to support is handled digitally, with help available over phone and email in Marathi, Hindi and English.
PAN card, Aadhaar linked to your mobile for the OTP eSign, a cancelled cheque or bank statement, and a recent photograph. That covers individual accounts; NRI, HUF and corporate variants need extra paperwork like attested address proof or deeds.
Opening the account is free. You pay a flat ₹20 per executed order - or 0.05% if that works out lower - on delivery, intraday, F&O, commodities and currency, subject to a ₹2.5 minimum per order. Direct mutual funds are commission-free. New accounts also get zero brokerage on all trades for the first 7 days after onboarding. Statutory charges (STT, GST, exchange fees, SEBI fee, stamp duty) apply separately - see sapphirebroking.com/pricing.
Yes, if you are 18 or older and hold a PAN card, you can open an account regardless of whether you earn a salary. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian can open a minor account operated on your behalf until you turn 18. Remember that investments in securities markets are subject to market risks.
