Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Zerodha demat account freezes for one of a defined set of reasons: incomplete or non-compliant KYC , an inoperative PAN , holding multiple demat accounts on the same PAN, mobile, email or bank, a mobile number on TRAI’s inactive list, a minor account turning major at 18, or an order from CDSL , SEBI, the Income Tax Department, the CBI or a court. The email Zerodha sends names the exact reason and the documents needed to fix it, and the fix depends entirely on which cause applies and who placed the freeze.
