Intraday trade means buying and selling a security on the same day, which results in no change in stocks you hold at the end of the day. In delivery trades, you take delivery or sell your shares which may change the composition of your portfolio. For example, suppose Reliance Industries (RIL) declared its December quarter earnings yesterday, and reported massive growth across business verticals. This usually means RIL share prices will rise in subsequent trading. You want to take benefit of this price movement and place a buy order in the morning. You have two options here: One, you place an intraday buy order and book profit by selling them before the market close. In this trade, no shares are credited to your DEMAT account. Option two is buy shares for more than one day, that is, take delivery of shares to benefit from multiple days or months of price movement. Shares you buy will be credited top your DEMAT account.
