Procedure

Open the support portal and find the matching articleGo to support.zerodha.com and search for the article closest to your need, for example account statements or closure. The Create ticket button is at the foot of the article and sets the team it reaches.
Tap Create ticket and select No at the login promptAt the bottom of the article, tap Create ticket. When asked whether to log in, select No, because a closed account no longer authenticates and the login route will not work.
Enter your old registered emailEnter the email that was registered on the closed account. The team uses it to match the ticket to your former client ID, so use the exact address rather than a new one.
Describe the request with your former client IDState your former client ID, the registered mobile, the closure date, and exactly what you need, such as a final statement or a tax report. The team cannot pull your account by login, so supply the identifiers.
Attach any proof you still holdAttach the closure confirmation, an old contract note, or a statement, each under 5 MB, to help the team locate the former account. Use the cloud-link route for anything larger.
Submit, verify by OTP, and keep the ticket numberTap Create ticket, then enter the OTP sent to the email you provided and verify. Save the ticket number; track the case and replies through the update emails to that address.

To raise a Zerodha ticket after your account is closed, go to support.zerodha.com, open the help article that matches your need, tap Create ticket, and select No at the login prompt, since a closed account no longer logs in. Enter the email that was registered on the closed account, describe the request with your former client ID, submit, and verify the ticket with the OTP sent to that email.

Closing a trading and demat account ends your login, but it does not end your need for support. Final statements, the capital-gains report for the year you traded, a residual balance left in the ledger, a duplicate contract note for an old trade, or simple proof that the account was closed can all be needed months after the account is gone, often at tax-filing time. Because the normal create-ticket flow offers a login that a closed account cannot complete, the route is the no-login path: you identify yourself by your old registered email and an OTP rather than by signing in.

This guide covers why closure removes the login but not support access, the no-login ticket flow step by step, which email to use and why it matters, what identifiers to supply so the team can find a former account, and the documents worth requesting before or just after closure so you are not chasing them later.

Step-by-step procedure

The numbered box above gives the sequence. The sections below expand the points specific to a closed account: why the login is gone, which email to use, and what to supply so a former account can be found.

When a Zerodha account closes, the login is deactivated, so Kite and Console no longer accept your credentials and the logged-in My tickets view is unavailable. Support itself remains reachable. The support portal at support.zerodha.com is a public surface; the create-ticket flow works whether or not an account is active, because it offers a no-login path that verifies you by email OTP. So the loss of login changes how you identify yourself, not whether you can raise a ticket.

2. Open the portal and create the ticket

Go to support.zerodha.com and search for the article closest to your need: account statements, closure, or tax reports, for example. At the foot of that article, tap Create ticket. The article you pick sets the team the ticket reaches, so choose the most specific one, a statement request to the reports team rather than a generic article.

At the prompt asking whether to log in, select No. Attempting to log in with a closed account fails, so the no-login path is the working route. Enter the email that was registered on the closed account. This is the single most important detail: the support team matches the ticket to your former client ID through that address, so a new or unrelated email makes the account harder to find and slows the reply. Use the exact old registered email even if you have a newer one. This route is the create-a-ticket-without-login flow applied to a former account.

4. Describe the request with your former client ID

In the Describe your issue in detail box, state your former client ID, the registered mobile number, the closure date, and exactly what you need. Because the team cannot pull your account from a login session, these identifiers are what let them locate the closed account in the back office. Be specific about the document: “final holdings statement and the capital-gains report for FY2025-26 on closed client ID XX1234”, not “send my statements”.

5. Attach proof and submit with an OTP

Attach any evidence you still hold, the closure confirmation email, an old contract note, or a statement, each under 5 MB, using Choose file; the large-file route handles anything bigger. Tap Create ticket. Zerodha sends an OTP to the email you entered; enter it and verify. The OTP is what authenticates a no-login ticket in place of a password. Save the ticket number, and follow the case through the update emails to that address, since the logged-in tracking view is not available.

Documents worth requesting before or just after closure

The cleanest approach is to download what you need before you close. While the account is still active, pull the final holdings statement , the tax P&L from Console , the capital-gains statement , the funds statement , and any contract notes you may want for your records. Tax filing for the year you closed often falls after closure, and the capital-gains report for that year is the document most people come back for. If you have already closed and did not keep these, the no-login ticket is how you request them; supply the financial year and the former client ID so the reports team can generate the right file.

A residual ledger balance is the other common post-closure matter. If a small credit was left in the account at closure, raise a ticket to request the refund to your registered bank account, with the former client ID and the bank details that were on file. Keep the ticket number; a refund of a residual balance is exactly the kind of matter that, if unresolved, escalates through the grievance ladder .

If the matter is unresolved

A closed-account ticket follows the same escalation path as any other. If a request for a statement, a refund, or proof of closure is not resolved, write to the Compliance Officer at complaints@zerodha.com with the ticket number and the former client ID, then escalate to the exchange grievance portal and to SEBI SCORES . A closed account does not remove your right to grievance redressal; the investor charter and the SCORES framework apply to former clients on matters arising from the account, and the SMART ODR route remains open for a monetary dispute. The ticket number and your old registered email are the identifiers you carry through each rung.

What can go wrong

Trying to log in with a closed account: it fails. Select No at the prompt and use the email-OTP route.
Using a new email: the team matches the ticket to your former client ID by the old registered email. Use the exact one that was on the account.
Vague request: the team cannot pull a closed account by login. State the former client ID, mobile, closure date, and the specific document or amount.
No access to the old email: the OTP goes there. If you have lost it, recover access to the email and mobile first, and explain the situation in the ticket text.
Expecting the My tickets view: it needs a login. Track a closed-account ticket through the update emails instead.
Not downloading documents before closure: pull the tax P&L, capital-gains, and final statements while the account is live; chasing them after closure adds a ticket cycle.

Frequently asked questions

How do I raise a Zerodha ticket after my account is closed?

Go to support.zerodha.com, open the article matching your need, tap Create ticket, and select No at the login prompt since a closed account cannot log in. Enter your old registered email, describe the request with your former client ID, submit, and verify with the OTP.

I closed my Zerodha account and cannot log in. How do I contact support?

Use the no-login ticket route. On support.zerodha.com, create a ticket from the relevant article, select No when asked to log in, enter the email registered on the closed account, and verify the ticket with the OTP sent to that address.

Which email should I use for a closed-account ticket?

Use the email that was registered on the closed Zerodha account. The support team matches the ticket to your former client ID through that address, so a new or different email makes it harder for them to locate your account.

Can I still get my final statement after closing the Zerodha account?

Yes. Raise a no-login ticket requesting the final holdings statement, ledger, or capital-gains report, and supply your former client ID and the closure date. Keep these documents for your tax records; you may need them well after closure.

How is my identity verified if I cannot log in?

Through an email OTP. After you submit the ticket, Zerodha sends a one-time password to the email you entered; entering it verifies the ticket. Using the old registered email helps the team tie the request to your former account.

Can I track a closed-account ticket?

Yes, through the update emails Zerodha sends to the email you provided. The logged-in My tickets view is unavailable because the account no longer logs in, so the email thread is how you follow the case and reply.

What if I no longer have access to my old registered email?

If you cannot receive the OTP on the old email, you may need to recover access to both the email and mobile first. The closed account cannot be logged into, so the email-OTP route is the practical channel; explain the situation in the ticket text.
