It further rose to 4 crore only by July 2021. These are active accounts where trading is being done on regular basis. Retail investors have contributed the maximum in this CDSL's journey as from 59 to 60 per cent retail investors account in the last year, CDSL now have 70 per cent such accounts," said  Devanshi Ashar of Zee Business.
