How to Open a Sahulat Account in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX)

The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has made it easier than ever for retail investors to participate in the stock market through the Sahulat Account. Whether you are a first-time investor, a student, a salaried professional, or a small business owner, a Sahulat Account offers a simplified, digital-first way to begin your stock market investment in Pakistan.

In this beginner-friendly guide, we will explain exactly what a Sahulat Account is, who can open one, the documents required, key investment limits, and how you can start online trading in Pakistan through MRA D-Trade, powered by MRA Securities Limited.

What is a Sahulat Account?

A Sahulat Account is a simplified brokerage account introduced under PSX’s investor facilitation framework. The word “Sahulat” means convenience, and the account lives up to its name by allowing investors to open a trading account digitally without visiting a broker’s office.

It is designed specifically for small-scale and first-time investors who want to open a trading account online with minimal documentation and a streamlined Know Your Customer (KYC) process.

Key features of a PSX Sahulat Account include:

• Fully online account opening
• Reduced documentation requirements
• Lower administrative barriers for new investors
• Access to the same PSX-listed stocks as a standard account
• Quick activation through a registered broker

Who Can Open a Sahulat Account?

The Sahulat Account in Pakistan is open to most individual investors who meet basic eligibility requirements. You can apply if you are:

• A Pakistani citizen aged 18 years or above
• A resident or non-resident Pakistani with a valid CNIC or NICOP
• A salaried individual, self-employed person, student, or homemaker
• A new investor with no prior stock market experience

Corporate entities, institutions, and joint account holders may require a standard brokerage account instead of a Sahulat Account. If you are unsure about your eligibility, the team at MRA Securities Limited can guide you.

Key Features and Benefits of a Sahulat Account

Before you apply, it helps to understand why the PSX Sahulat Account is an excellent starting point for new investors:

• Convenience: Complete the entire process from your phone or laptop.
• Lower documentation burden: No need for physical paperwork or notarized copies in most cases.
• Fast activation: Accounts can often be activated within a few working days.
• Safe and regulated: The account operates through SECP-regulated brokers and PSX-approved systems.
• Low entry barrier: You do not need a large capital base to get started.
• Upgradeable: Once your portfolio grows, you can easily upgrade to a standard trading account.

Required Documents for a Sahulat Account

To open a Sahulat Account through a PSX-registered broker, you will generally need the following:

1. Valid CNIC or NICOP – Front and back scanned copies or clear photos.

2. Bank account details – Your active bank account IBAN for fund transfers and dividend credits.

3. Valid mobile number and email address – For verification and trade confirmations.

4. Next of kin details – Name, relationship, and CNIC of a family member.

5. Basic source of income information – For KYC and risk profiling purposes.

6. Recent photograph – Some brokers may request a passport-size photo.

Since requirements can vary slightly by broker, always confirm the latest document checklist with MRA Securities Limited before submitting your application.

Investment Limits of a Sahulat Account

A common question from beginners is: *How much can I invest through a Sahulat Account?*

Sahulat Accounts are designed for small-ticket and first-time investors. While the exact cap may vary by broker and PSX policy updates, many Sahulat Accounts carry a maximum investment or portfolio limit—commonly around PKR 500,000 to PKR 1,000,000, depending on the account variant and broker policy.

Once you approach or exceed the applicable limit, your broker can assist you in upgrading to a standard trading account. This ensures you can continue growing your portfolio without interruption.
