This guide walks a resident individual through opening a Zerodha account by the offline paper-form route, the path you use when the online eKYC cannot run. Online opening needs an Aadhaar linked to your mobile number so the DigiLocker OTP can reach you; without that link, or without an Aadhaar at all, or where a webcam in-person verification is not possible, you fill a physical form, attach self-attested documents, complete an OTP-based in-person verification, and courier the papers to Zerodha’s Bengaluru office. It is the same account at the end, opened under the same SEBI KYC rules; only the collection method differs.
