Zerodha policies and procedures: the mandatory broker policy

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

Zerodha’s policies and procedures is the SEBI-mandated broker policy document, published at zerodha.com/policies-and-procedures/, that sets out the operating rules between Zerodha and its clients: the risk management system, charges and penalties, margin and pledge rules, penny-stock and illiquid-security restrictions, account closure and inactivity, business-continuity arrangements, and the anti-money-laundering policy. Every SEBI-registered stock broker must publish such a document and have clients acknowledge it at account opening, which makes it the binding rulebook behind the day-to-day operation of the account.

A Zerodha trading account becomes dormant when there has been no debit transaction (purchase, pledge, or fund transfer out) for a period of 12 consecutive months. This is consistent with SEBI ’s guidelines on classification of trading accounts and the corresponding requirements of stock exchanges. A dormant account retains its holdings; securities in the linked CDSL demat account are not affected, and the account is not closed. However, the ability to place new orders is suspended until the account is reactivated.
