A Client Master Report (CMR) – also called a Client Master List (CML) by some depositories – is a one-page document generated by a depository participant (DP) that provides a summary of the beneficial owner’s demat account details. It is issued under the CDSL / NSDL framework and carries the DP’s details alongside the client’s.

At Zerodha, the CMR contains:

Full name of the account holder(s)
16-digit CDSL BO ID
Zerodha DP ID (12081600)
PAN
Address as registered on the CDSL account
Bank account details linked to the demat account
Account type (individual, HUF, joint, etc.)
Account status (active, frozen, etc.)

The CMR is required as supporting documentation for a wide range of external processes: mutual fund SoA-to-demat conversions (as proof of demat account at the RTA), IEPF claims (Form IEPF-5), applying for IPO allotment in demat form at a different DP, and off-market transfer registrations with certain brokers.
