April 5, 2022: Investors can invest on Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) through the highly simplified Sahulat Account. The Sahulat Account provides exceptional ease of account opening for investors whereby they can open a Sahulat Account by only submitting their CNIC/ SNIC and start investing up to an amount of  Rs 800,000/-.
 
This is an ideal account for Pakistani individuals such as students, housewives, novice investors or others wanting to invest in the stock market but have thus far felt hesitant to do so as they may have found the conventional account opening process tedious with numerous documents required to be submitted. All licensed Securities Brokers are offering the Sahulat Account facility. Moreover, the Sahulat Account can be opened online as well.
 
For Sahulat Account, investors need not submit any specific evidence of source of income such as salary slips or bank statements etc. In order to remove any kind of ambiguity on part of  Securities Brokers and their customers, Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has already issued a Notice with respect to the account opening process for the Sahulat Account. As per this process, any individual identified as ‘low risk’ through risk assessment can open a Sahulat Account. The Securities Broker may apply simplified due diligence measures which include verification of the identity of customers.
 
Highlighting the utmost convenience offered by the Sahulat Account, the MD & CEO of PSX, Mr Farrukh H. Khan, stated, “The Sahulat Account involves an extremely simplified and straightforward process of account opening. Coupled with the recent improvements in online account opening and local KYC sharing, it has never been easier for individuals to open a brokerage account and benefit from investing in the stock market.”
He added, “Pakistan Stock Exchange continues its efforts to expand our outreach and become accessible to investors, particularly retail investors, throughout Pakistan. The ease with which investors can open a Sahulat Account is proof of PSX’s efforts to not only provide greater accessibility to individual investors but also increase the number of investors on the Stock Exchange. We are now counting upon our ecosystem members, the Securities Brokers, to leverage these developments to facilitate and bring in new investors.”
