How to fix NSDL shares not visible on Kite

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

Shares held in an NSDL demat account, or in any demat account other than your Zerodha account, are not visible on Kite because Kite shows only the Zerodha demat, and Zerodha’s demat is held with CDSL . The two depositories are separate record systems, so a holding in an NSDL or other-broker demat sits outside the account Kite reads. To make those shares visible and tradable on Kite, transfer them into your Zerodha CDSL demat; once the shares are credited there, they appear in holdings.

This guide explains how to transfer equity shares from any CDSL -based demat account to your Zerodha demat account using the CDSL Easiest online platform. The transfer is an off-market instruction (no stock exchange involvement) and is the standard method for moving holdings when changing brokers or consolidating demat accounts.

Zerodha is a depository participant (DP) of CDSL . Its BO (beneficial owner) IDs begin with the CDSL depository ID 12081600 followed by eight digits.

How to transfer shares from Zerodha to another broker

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

This guide explains how to transfer equity shares out of your Zerodha demat account to another broker’s demat account. The transfer is executed as an off-market transaction through CDSL ’s Easiest platform. Zerodha holds all client demat accounts at CDSL; the target broker may be another CDSL participant or an NSDL participant (which requires an inter-depository transfer).

Before you begin

Confirm that the shares you want to transfer are not pledged for margin at Zerodha. Pledged shares must be unpledged first. Go to Console > Portfolio > Holdings and check the pledge status.
Confirm that the shares are not under a lock-in (IPO allotment lock-in, ESOP vesting lock-in, or bonus lock-in). Locked-in securities cannot be transferred until the lock-in expires.
Ensure you have your Zerodha 16-digit BO ID (available at Console > Profile > Demat account).
Ensure you have the target broker’s 16-digit BO ID. For CDSL targets, the BO ID starts with the DP’s 8-digit DP ID. For NSDL targets, the format differs; request the target’s DP ID + client ID combination.
Off-market transfers do not require DDPI (Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction) authorisation at Zerodha; they are self-initiated through CDSL Easiest.

Step 1: Find your Zerodha BO ID

Log in to Zerodha Console and go to Profile > Demat account. Your 16-digit CDSL BO ID is displayed there. You can also find it on the CMR (Client Master Report); see How to request a CMR / CML from Zerodha .
