How to Download and Use Your Client Master Report (CMR) for Demat Account

If you’re planning to transfer shares, apply for an IPO, or update bank details, you’ll often be asked to submit your Client Master Report (CMR). This document plays a vital role in verifying your Demat account and ensuring secure transactions.

In this blog, we’ll explain what a CMR is, how to download it, and where it’s commonly used.

What is a Client Master Report (CMR)?

The CMR is a document generated by your Depository Participant (DP) (your broker), which contains all key details of your Demat account, including:

• Demat Account Number (BO ID)

• PAN and KYC status

• Bank account details

• Nominee (if registered)

• DP name and ID

• Account type (individual, joint, NRI, etc.)

The CMR is a certified document, usually signed and stamped by the broker.

Why is the CMR Important?

Share Transfers: Needed when moving shares between Demat accounts

Algo Trading Setup: Required by fintech platforms

IPO and Mutual Fund KYC: For certain verifications

Switching Brokers: A must-have for closing or opening a new Demat account

Bank Linking or Modifications

How to Download Your CMR

1. Through Your Broker Portal

Most brokers like One Solution provide an option to download CMR directly:

• Log in to your trading/Demat account dashboard

• Navigate to “Profile” or “Client Master” section

• Click “Download CMR” or request via email

• You may receive it in PDF format, signed and digitally stamped

2. Request via Email or Support

If it’s not available online, email or call your broker to request the document.

Ensure that the copy is:

• PDF format

• Digitally signed or carries an e-stamp

• Clear and not password protected

What to Check in Your CMR

Before sharing it with anyone:

• Ensure your name and PAN are correct

• Verify that your bank account details match
