This boils down to trust. I have over a million rupees parked with zerodha and finvasia. Never had a problem of security. Note that money can be withdrawn only to the bank account you have linked to your trading account.

On a side note stock brokers are required to transfer unutilized money kept in the client’s trading account back to the client’s bank account at least once, in a period of 90 days.
