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.

Your specimen signature is the signature on record with Zerodha and CDSL. It is used to verify physical instructions such as account closure forms, closure-cum-transfer requests, delivery instruction slips (DIS), and certain account modification forms. A signature that has changed over time (change in style, initials-based to full signature, or due to personal preference) must be updated to prevent rejection of physical instructions.

Unlike many other account modifications, signature updates at Zerodha do not have a self-service online route. They require a physical form submission by email (scanned) or courier. This guide explains the process.
