Step-by-step procedure

Five steps per the procedure infobox. The notes below cover each asset class in turn.

Stocks (NSE / BSE equity)

Search by NSE symbol, BSE scrip code, or company name in the Kite marketwatch . The dropdown shows both exchanges where applicable; pick by exchange tag.

ETFs

Indian ETFs trade on NSE and BSE alongside equity. Search the ETF name or symbol:

ETF	Symbol
Nippon India ETF Nifty BeES	`NIFTYBEES`
Nippon India ETF Gold BeES	`GOLDBEES`
SBI Nifty 50 ETF	`SETFNIF50`
Bharat Bond ETF 2030	`EBBETF0430`
Nippon India ETF Junior BeES	`JUNIORBEES`
Motilal Oswal MOSt Shares M50	`M50`

ETFs add to the marketwatch the same way as equity. See also: How to add Bharat Bond ETF to Kite .

Mutual funds

Mutual fund schemes do not appear in the Kite marketwatch. They live on Zerodha Coin . The Coin search:

Open coin.zerodha.com or the Coin app.
Search the scheme name or AMC name.
Click the scheme row to see NAV, returns, expense ratio, and the SIP / lumpsum buttons.

Coin holdings appear in the Coin dashboard, not in the Kite Holdings tab. Kite shows a Mutual fund holdings summary tab as a courtesy view.

IPOs

During a public offering subscription window , the IPO row appears in the Kite marketwatch search under an IPO tag. Adding it to the marketwatch lets you monitor subscription progress. To actually apply for the IPO:

Kite > Bids > IPO.
Pick the open issue.
Apply with UPI mandate per the IPO application process .

After listing, the IPO row becomes a regular EQ row.

G-secs and SDLs

Government securities (G-secs) and State Development Loans (SDLs) trade on a separate retail surface. Kite supports primary-market bidding via the RBI Retail Direct integration (or the older NSE goBID flow on some accounts).

In the marketwatch search, G-secs appear under a GSEC tag with ISINs like IN0020230012. Adding them to the watchlist surfaces the yield-to-maturity (YTM) and coupon.

To bid: Kite > Bids > Government securities.

Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs)

Sovereign Gold Bonds trade on the secondary market like equity. Search by symbol (e.g., SGBNOV23 for the November 2023 issue) or by ISIN. Listed SGBs add to the marketwatch directly.

For new SGB issues, the primary-market subscription window appears under Kite > Bids > Sovereign Gold Bonds.

What is not on Kite or Coin

Fixed deposits are not on Kite. Bank FDs are on the respective bank’s platform.
Non-convertible debentures (NCDs) during subscription appear via the Bids interface; secondary-market trading is via the corporate bond search.
Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are not on Kite; these are accessed via the AIF manager directly.
Insurance is not on Kite.
