Once the PAN name is corrected, you run the <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-re-kyc-zerodha/">re-KYC</a> flow at <strong>account.zerodha.com</strong>, enter your ITD name when prompted, authenticate with <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/aadhaar/">Aadhaar</a> , upload the supporting document and e-sign. An account modification charge of Rs 25 plus 18 per cent GST applies, and the change is updated within 72 working hours.</p>How to change your Zerodha user IDhttps://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-change-user-id-zerodha/Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-change-user-id-zerodha/<p><strong>No, you cannot change your Zerodha user ID.</strong> Zerodha’s own help desk states it plainly: you cannot change or customise your user ID, because it is registered on the exchange to track all your transactions, which makes it permanent and unchangeable. The 12-character <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/zerodha-12-character-user-id-format/">user ID</a> , the code such as AB1234 that identifies your account, is not an editable profile field like your email or mobile. It is an exchange-level identifier tied to every trade you have placed. This guide explains why it is fixed, what you can change instead, and how to recover a forgotten ID, which is the real need behind most searches to “change” one.</p>How to recover a Zerodha account when you lost both email and mobilehttps://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-recover-lost-email-mobile-zerodha/Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-recover-lost-email-mobile-zerodha/<p>If you have lost access to both your registered email and your registered mobile number at <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/zerodha/">Zerodha</a> , you recover the account by updating your contact details first, then resetting the password; you cannot reset the password until the new email and mobile are live, because every reset OTP is sent to those channels. The update runs through an e-signed account modification form and a CDSL KYC form, a support ticket, and an <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/in-person-verification/" rel="nofollow">In-Person Verification</a> video check. Zerodha updates the contact details within 72 working hours after successful verification, and only then can you reset the password and re-enable two-factor authentication.</p>How to add a joint holder to a Zerodha demat account (limitations)https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-add-joint-holder-zerodha/Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-add-joint-holder-zerodha/<p>A common question among Zerodha account holders is whether an existing sole (individual) demat account can be modified to add a spouse, parent, or child as a joint holder. The short answer is: <strong>it cannot</strong>. This is a regulatory constraint, not a Zerodha policy choice.</p> <p>SEBI’s Depositories and Participants Regulations, 2018, and CDSL’s operational instructions fix the beneficial owner composition at the time of account opening. Adding or removing holders from an existing demat account is not a permitted operation. This applies to all depositories and depository participants in India, not only Zerodha.</p>How to change your bank IFSC after a merger on Zerodhahttps://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-change-bank-ifsc-zerodha/Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-change-bank-ifsc-zerodha/<p>When a bank merger occurs, the IFSC code of branches is changed as the acquiring bank integrates the network. If your Zerodha account is linked to a bank whose IFSC has changed due to a merger, fund withdrawals from Zerodha to that account will fail until the new IFSC is updated.</p> <p>Notable bank mergers in India that have triggered IFSC changes include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Lakshmi Vilas Bank merged into DBS Bank India</strong> (November 2020): All LVB IFSC codes were replaced with DBS India IFSCs.</li> <li><strong>Yes Bank restructuring</strong> (March 2020): IFSC codes were retained but some branches were closed.</li> <li><strong>HDFC Ltd merged into HDFC Bank</strong> (July 2023): HDFC Ltd was a housing finance company, not a commercial bank; this merger is less likely to affect IFSC codes for savings accounts.</li> <li><strong>Bank of Baroda, Vijaya Bank, Dena Bank merger</strong> (2019): All Vijaya and Dena IFSC codes were migrated to Bank of Baroda IFSCs.</li> </ul> <p>This guide covers how to update the bank IFSC at Zerodha following any such merger.</p>How to change your email address on Zerodhahttps://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-change-email-zerodha/Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://v2.webnotes.in/how-to-change-email-zerodha/<p>Your registered email address at Zerodha is used for contract note delivery, account statements, tax documents (P&L and tax P&L reports), security alerts, and official communications from Zerodha.

It is also the address to which CDSL sends physical PIN mailers for Easiest target account activation. An outdated address causes delivery failures and may trigger compliance flags under SEBI’s periodic KYC re-verification requirements.</p> <p>Address updates at Zerodha flow through the <strong>KYC Registration Agency (KRA)</strong> framework, established by the SEBI KRA Regulations, 2011.

It is used to verify physical instructions such as account closure forms, closure-cum-transfer requests, delivery instruction slips (DIS), and certain account modification forms. A signature that has changed over time (change in style, initials-based to full signature, or due to personal preference) must be updated to prevent rejection of physical instructions.</p> <p>Unlike many other account modifications, signature updates at Zerodha do not have a self-service online route. They require a physical form submission by email (scanned) or courier. This guide explains the process.</p>
