How to enable the camera for In-Person Verification (IPV) on Zerodha

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

In-Person Verification (IPV) is the live photo and video check that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) requires for every new broker-client relationship in India, and it is the one step in Zerodha account opening where a working camera is not optional. This guide explains how to grant camera access for IPV on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, and inside the Kite app on iOS and Android, and how to clear the camera failures that most often stall the session: a denied permission, another app holding the camera, a browser blocking access, and poor lighting.

Why a Zerodha account application is rejected or put on hold

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Zerodha account-opening application is rejected or put on hold when a document detail fails verification against an external record, most commonly the permanent account number , Aadhaar , signature or bank proof. Zerodha verifies the PAN across the Income Tax Department, the KYC Registration Agencies and its own systems, so a discrepancy at any of these surfaces as a hold rather than an outright pass. When that happens, Zerodha emails the applicant the exact reason and the documents required to correct it, and the application sits in a correction window before it resets. This article lists the documented reasons an application is held or rejected and the remedy for each.

In-person verification (IPV) is the traditional offline KYC method for mutual funds. Under SEBI’s KYC framework, IPV is the original verification standard; Aadhaar OTP eKYC and video KYC are alternatives that satisfy the same regulatory requirement.

IPV is mandatory or preferable in specific scenarios where Aadhaar OTP cannot be completed or where the investor prefers in-person interaction.

How to do Zerodha IPV (in-person verification) via video

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

This guide explains how to complete the mandatory in-person verification (IPV) step during Zerodha account opening using the video-based verification feature, as required by SEBI for all new broker-client relationships in India.

Step-by-step procedure

Step 1: Understand the IPV requirement

SEBI mandates in-person verification for all new trading and demat account relationships. The objective is to confirm that the person applying is the same individual whose documents were submitted. Zerodha fulfils this through an automated video verification session, which is recorded and retained by Zerodha for compliance purposes.
