Account StructureMain Account: Each Account Holder in the system will be allocated a main account by virtue of being an Account Holder in the CDS. This account will mainly be used as a transit account for movement of securities. Any security coming in or moving out of an account holder's family of accounts will pass through this account. House Account: Used for securities owned beneficially by Account Holders.

Account StructureSub-account (Client Account): used for keeping securities belonging individually to each of those clients of a Participant who require their securities to be kept in a Sub Account.
