How-to zerodha account details client id BO ID DP ID demat id client master report

How to find your Zerodha account details

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~9 min. Level: Beginner.

Your Zerodha account details live in two places: Console , the back office, holds the demat and bank numbers, and your account-opening email holds the login client ID. Open console.zerodha.com/account and you see your registered mobile number, email ID, bank account number and demat account number on one page. Click Account, then Demat, and you see the DP ID, the 8-digit BO ID and the 16-digit demat ID. The client ID you type to log in is separate: it is your Kite user ID, a 6-character code Zerodha mailed you at account opening.

These identifiers do different jobs, and people mix them up. The Kite user ID logs you in. The 16-digit demat ID identifies the demat account that holds your shares at CDSL , and you quote it when you transfer securities in. The DP ID is common to all Zerodha clients; the BO ID is yours alone. The bank account is the one money moves through. This guide shows where each one sits, what it looks like, and how to pull the official Client Master Report when a counterparty wants a signed copy.

Step-by-step procedure

The numbered box at the top of this guide gives the sequence. The detail below names the exact Console panels and explains what each identifier means and where else it appears.

1. Open Console and go to the account page

Log in at console.zerodha.com with your client ID and password, then open console.zerodha.com/account. Zerodha’s support documentation confirms this page carries your registered mobile number, email ID, bank account number and demat account number together, so it is the fastest single view for the everyday details. If you only need the bank account on file, or you want to confirm which email and mobile are registered before a contact change , this page answers it without any further clicks.

2. View the demat IDs under Account then Demat

For the depository identifiers, click Account in Console, then Demat. Zerodha’s support article lists four values on this panel. The DP name is Zerodha Broking Limited, the depository participant through which the account is held. The DP ID is 12081600 or 12081601, and it is identical for every Zerodha client, since it identifies the broker and not you. The BO ID, your beneficiary owner identification number, is an 8-digit number unique to your account. The demat ID is a 16-digit number, and it is simply the DP ID joined to the BO ID. You quote the 16-digit demat ID when someone transfers shares into your account or when you set up CDSL Easiest .

3. Find your login client ID

Your Zerodha client ID is your Kite user ID, the 6-character code such as AB1234 you enter to log in. It is not held on the Console account page as a separate field, because it is the credential you are already logged in with. Zerodha generates it the moment you finish the account-opening forms with e-signature and mails it to your registered email with the subject line Welcome to Zerodha. It also shows on the Kite profile after login. The user ID follows Zerodha’s 12-character padded format in some back-office files, but the version you log in with is the short code. If you have lost it, recover it through how to recover your Kite user ID or look it up via the Zerodha client ID lookup .

4. Check active segments

The Console account page also tells you which exchange segments are active: equity delivery and intraday, futures and options , currency, and commodity. A segment that is not active will not let you place orders in that product, so check here first if an order type is greyed out. If the segment you need is missing, you add it from the same area; the F&O activation flow covers the income-proof requirement for the derivatives segment.

5. Download the Client Master Report for an official copy

When a counterparty, another broker during an off-market transfer , or a registrar, wants a signed record rather than a screenshot, pull the Client Master Report . In Console go to Account, then Documents, select Zerodha CMR copy and click E-mail to me. The CMR is a digitally signed PDF that carries the demat ID, date of birth, bank details and nomination details in one authoritative document. Zerodha’s support note states the CMR becomes available only 48 working hours after the account opens, so a brand-new account cannot generate it immediately.

What each identifier is for

The four numbers are not interchangeable, and quoting the wrong one is the most common reason a transfer or a service request stalls.

The Kite user ID, your client ID, authenticates you to Kite and Console. It is the only one you type during login. The demat ID (16 digits) identifies the account that holds your securities at CDSL; you give it to anyone moving shares to you. The BO ID (8 digits) is the account-specific tail of the demat ID, and some CDSL forms ask for it on its own. The DP ID (12081600 or 12081601) identifies Zerodha as the depository participant and is shared by every Zerodha client, so it never identifies you individually.

A separate point of confusion is the trading code versus the demat number. Zerodha is a single integrated account, so the same login governs both your trading account and your demat account, but the demat ID is the CDSL number, not your login. When a form asks for your “client ID” it usually means the login code; when it asks for your “demat account number” or “BO ID” it means the CDSL identifiers under Account, Demat.

Where these details also appear

You do not always need to open Console. The account-opening email with subject Welcome to Zerodha carries the user ID. The Client Master Report carries the demat ID, BO ID, bank and nomination details in a single signed file. The consolidated account statement issued by CDSL also shows your demat ID and holdings. For the bank account, the same number registered in Console is the one that appears on your funds statements and on the CMR. Keeping these to hand matters most when you transfer securities between brokers or respond to a KYC update request , both of which ask for the exact 16-digit demat ID.

Keeping the registered contact details current

The account page is also where you confirm the registered mobile number and email, and these are not cosmetic fields. SEBI requires every demat account to carry an active mobile number and email so that OTPs and trade alerts reach only the account holder. If the registered mobile goes inactive, the depository can freeze the demat account, which is why the contact details on this page are worth checking periodically. If they are out of date, update them through how to change your Zerodha mobile number or how to change your Zerodha email before the freeze rule bites; the reasons a demat gets frozen are set out in why a Zerodha demat account gets frozen .
