How to fix the 'there may be a discrepancy with this stock' message on Kite

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The “there may be a discrepancy with this stock” alert on Kite means the buy average for that holding is missing, so Zerodha cannot show a figure that depends on it; the fix is to manually update the buy average in Zerodha Console when the shares arrived by an off-market transfer , and to do nothing when they came from an IPO or a corporate action, because Zerodha updates those automatically. This guide identifies which case you are in and walks the correction.

Briefcase symbol on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The briefcase symbol on the Kite marketwatch is a small icon (a stylised briefcase / portfolio glyph) that appears on the right side of a scrip row when the user holds shares of that instrument in their portfolio. It is purely a visual cue, not a clickable target, and is one of the small UX affordances that distinguish a “watched” scrip from a “held” one.

Where it appears

Surface	Where the briefcase shows
Kite web marketwatch row	Right of the LTP, before the change column
Kite mobile app marketwatch	Right of the row, beside the LTP
Quote screen	Top of the scrip detail view (mobile only)

The icon is grey when the user holds the scrip in delivery (CNC) ; it switches to a different shade or carries a small overlay when there is an open intraday position on the same scrip.

Day's P&L on Holdings: how Kite calculates it

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Day’s P&L column on the Kite Holdings tab shows the unrealised profit or loss generated by today’s price movement on each scrip you hold. It is not the all-time profit (that is Overall P&L), but specifically the profit / loss attributable to today’s tick changes.

Formula

For each holding row:

Day’s P&L = (LTP - Previous close) x Qty

Where:

LTP is the live last-traded price.
Previous close is the official close from the previous trading day’s bhav copy (adjusted for any same-day corporate action).
Qty is the total holding quantity (including T1 if applicable).

The portfolio-wide Day’s P&L is the sum across all rows.

Holdings value differs between Console and Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The total portfolio value shown on Zerodha Console can differ from the total on Kite Holdings tab . The discrepancy is usually small (a few hundred to a few thousand rupees) and explainable by the way each surface aggregates positions and pricing.

Why the totals can differ

1. Settlement stage

Kite shows the in-progress state of the day, with T1 (unsettled) holdings included as part of total quantity. Console may show only T+1-settled positions in the Holdings total, depending on the refresh time and the report being viewed.

How to fix ESOP shares not appearing on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs ) granted by a publicly listed company are credited to the employee’s demat account via the company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA). The credit then appears on Kite Holdings . When it does not, the issue is usually at one of the links in this chain.

How to fix holdings not displayed on the exchange bought from on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Kite Holdings tab row displays the scrip with one exchange tag (NSE or BSE), but you remember buying from the other exchange. This is almost always a display artefact; the underlying demat holding is exchange-agnostic and can be sold on either venue.

How to fix smallcase and Kite holdings mismatch with filters

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

smallcase is a third-party basket-investing platform integrated with Zerodha . It reads your Zerodha demat holdings and overlays a basket-purchase / rebalance interface. Because the two systems (smallcase and Kite) sync independently, brief or filter-induced mismatches are common.

How to quick-exit holdings and positions on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Kite Quick exit flow lets you sell from the Holdings or Positions tab with one click per row, or bulk-exit multiple rows at once.

How to toggle net change between percentage and absolute on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Kite Holdings tab and Positions tab display Net change and Day’s change in both percentage and absolute (rupee) form by default. Some users prefer percentage-only or absolute-only; the toggle is a single-click on web and a menu setting on the app.

Kite Holdings tab explained

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Holdings tab on Kite is the canonical surface for viewing all the equity, ETF and bond securities credited to your demat account via Zerodha . It is distinct from the Positions tab , which tracks open intraday positions and unsettled F&O positions. This article is a full reference: every column, every calculation, and the common confusions.

What appears on Holdings

A scrip appears on the Holdings tab when:

It was bought with the CNC (Cash and Carry ) product type and delivery has settled.
It was bought intraday (MIS), then converted to CNC, and the conversion settled.
It was transferred in from an external demat account via a CDSL / NSDL inter-depository transfer (delivery instruction slip).
It was credited via a corporate action (bonus, demerger, IPO listing).

A scrip does not appear on Holdings if:

LTP difference between Holdings and marketwatch on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A common point of confusion: the LTP shown for a scrip on the Kite Holdings tab does not exactly match the LTP shown for the same scrip on the marketwatch . The discrepancy is small (usually a few paise to a few rupees) but is regularly reported as a “bug”. It is almost always explainable by one of a handful of causes.

The four common causes

1. Refresh timing

The marketwatch streams live ticks at sub-second frequency. The Holdings tab refreshes the LTP for each row at a slightly slower cadence (every few seconds, throttled to reduce server load). A quote that ticked one second ago will appear on the marketwatch immediately and on Holdings after a small delay.

Mutual fund holdings on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Mutual fund holdings view on Kite is a read-only summary of the mutual fund schemes you have subscribed to via Zerodha Coin . It exists as a convenience surface for users who spend most of their time in Kite; the canonical MF dashboard with transaction history and SIP management lives on Coin.

Why Kite has a MF view at all

Mutual funds are not tradable on Kite the way equities and ETFs are. NSE / BSE do not list MF units; subscriptions and redemptions happen via the AMC (or AMC’s appointed RTA, CAMS / KFinTech). Coin is Zerodha’s MF transaction platform. However, many users want a portfolio-wide view of all their investments (equity + ETFs + MFs + bonds) in one place. The Kite MF view provides this.

P symbol on the Kite Holdings page

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The P symbol on a Kite Holdings tab row is a small flag indicating that some or all of the shares in that row are pledged, that is, locked as collateral against a margin requirement. Pledged shares remain in the user’s demat account, count in the displayed quantity, but cannot be sold without first un-pledging.

What pledging is for

Margin pledge lets a user use their equity holdings as collateral to access additional margin for F&O trading, currency, or commodity positions. Instead of moving cash into the trading account, the user pledges shares; the broker accepts them as collateral (subject to a haircut).

P&L change after 3:30 PM on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The NSE / BSE equity session closes at 15:30 IST, but the Day’s P&L column on the Kite Holdings tab (and the realised P&L on Positions ) can continue to change for several minutes after that. This is normal back-office activity, not a Kite bug.

What changes between 15:30 and end-of-day

Closing-price finalisation

NSE / BSE compute the closing price of each equity as the volume-weighted average over the last half hour (15:00 to 15:30). The official closing price for the day is published in the bhav copy, typically by 16:00-16:30 IST.

Sold holdings bought back same day on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A common scenario on Kite : you sell a CNC delivery holding on day T, then buy it back the same day. This is the “STBT -like” pattern, but for delivery holdings. The mechanics and the STT consequences differ from a clean BTST and warrant care.

The two ways this can happen

Scenario A: sell CNC holding, then buy CNC again

You have 100 RELIANCE in Holdings . At 11:00 you sell 100 at Rs 2,900 CNC. At 14:00 you buy 100 RELIANCE at Rs 2,895 CNC.

T1 above shares on Holdings on Kite

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The T1 above shares indicator on the Kite Holdings tab is a flag showing the quantity of shares you bought today (or in BTST scenarios, in an in-progress settlement cycle) that have not yet settled into your demat account. The flag appears above the main Qty number in the row.

What T1 means

Since SEBI’s T+1 settlement framework took full effect in January 2023, equity trades in India settle one trading day after execution:

How to view holdings on Kite vs Console

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Equity shares purchased on Zerodha Kite using the CNC product code are held in your demat account at CDSL (Central Depository Services Limited). Both the Kite trading platform and Zerodha Console provide views into these holdings, but with different levels of detail and analytical depth. This guide explains how to use both platforms to view your holdings, what each shows, and how they relate to the authoritative demat record at CDSL.
