How to check your KYC status for a Zerodha account

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

You check your KYC status for a Zerodha account on a KYC Registration Agency (KRA) portal, not inside Zerodha itself, because the status that controls your trading is held at the KRA, not by the broker. Enter the PAN registered on your account at any one of the five KRA websites, CVLKRA, NDML KRA, CAMSKRA, KFin (Karvy) or DotEx, and the portal returns one of a short list of statuses: Validated, Registered, On Hold, Rejected or Under Process. This guide shows the exact lookup, explains what each status means for your ability to trade, and tells you what to do when the status is anything other than Validated.

The KRA KYC validation email and SMS explained

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

A KRA KYC validation email or SMS is a message from one of India’s five SEBI-registered KYC Registration Agencies, CVL, NDML, DOTEX, CAMS or KFin (formerly Karvy), reporting the status of your KYC record against your PAN and, where required, asking you to validate your registered email address or mobile number. It is sent under SEBI’s framework for validation of KYC records by KRAs, not by your broker, and the status it carries (Validated, Registered, Under Validation, On Hold or Rejected) governs whether you can transact in the securities market.

Zerodha CKYC and re-KYC: how the statuses work

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

A Zerodha account relies on two separate KYC systems: CKYC , the cross-sector central registry run by CERSAI under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and KRA KYC, the securities-market system run by five SEBI-registered KYC Registration Agencies under the SEBI (KYC Registration Agency) Regulations, 2011. The first gives you a portable 14-digit identifier; the second assigns the status, KYC Validated, KYC Registered or KYC On Hold, that actually controls whether and how you can trade through Kite . Re-KYC is the process of refreshing that securities-market record so it returns to Validated.

eKYC vs offline KYC at Zerodha

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

Know Your Client (KYC) is the identity-verification step every Indian market intermediary must complete before opening a trading or demat account , and at Zerodha it runs through one of two paths: Aadhaar-based electronic KYC (eKYC) pulled through DigiLocker, or offline KYC built on printed, signed and attested physical forms. Both satisfy the same regulatory requirement set by SEBI in its Master Circular on KYC norms for the securities market dated October 2023, and both end at a KYC Registration Agency (KRA) that validates and stores the record. The two paths differ in how identity is captured, who can use each, and how long they take.

How to update signature on mutual fund KYC (KRA)

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Updating the signature on your mutual fund KYC is required after a change in signing style (handwriting evolution over years), legal name change (where signature changes too), or after the original signature was lost / disputed. The update requires bank attestation because signature verification is the primary anti-fraud control for offline redemptions.
