A BO complains that he has not received the periodic statement of his demat holdings. As per depository norms, a DP must send a transaction statement to a BO at least how often when there have been transactions?

A DP must give the beneficial owner a transaction statement at least once a month when there have been transactions in the account. Where there are no transactions, a statement of holdings is given at least quarterly, so annual or on-request-only delivery is not compliant.

Explanation

Depository rules require the DP to provide a transaction statement at least monthly where transactions occurred, and holding statements at least quarterly where there were no transactions. Annual-only or on-request-only options contradict this.
