Canara Bank Securities Ltd

Canara Bank Securities Limited (CBSL), originally incorporated in 1996 as Gilt Securities Trading Corporation Limited (GSTCL), began as a Primary Dealer, specialized entity focused on government securities trading. The Primary Dealer activity of the Company was taken over by the parent Bank in February, 2007. In 2009, it was renamed to Canara Bank Securities Limited to reflect its broader strategic realignment and a shift in business focus toward retail and institutional equity broking. Today, CBSL operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canara Bank, offering a comprehensive suite of financial services including equity trading on NSE and BSE, depository services through NSDL, Mutual Fund distribution, IPO application support, and mobile-based trading platforms. This transformation marks its evolution from a niche gilt trading firm to a full-spectrum capital market intermediary serving a diverse client base.
