How to request a duplicate contract note from Zerodha

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

A contract note is a legally mandated document issued by a stock broker to its clients for every trade executed on a stock exchange. Under SEBI regulations, a contract note must be issued within 24 hours of trade execution. It is the primary legal evidence of a trade between the broker and the client, and it is a critical document for:

Capital gains tax computation (acquisition cost, sale proceeds, STT paid)
GST input credit (for business traders)
Responding to income tax department queries or notices
Dispute resolution with the broker or exchange

Zerodha issues contract notes digitally (by email to the registered email address and via Console download). This guide explains how to access historical contract notes if the original email was missed, the inbox was lost, or the contract note is needed for tax or legal purposes.

How to use the Quicko integration on Zerodha Console

Zerodha Console offers a built-in link to Quicko, a tax-filing platform that imports trading data directly from Zerodha and assists in preparing and filing ITR-2 or ITR-3. For investors and traders who find the manual method of downloading the capital gains CSV and entering data into the ITR utility tedious, the Quicko integration offers a faster alternative, particularly for returns with hundreds of scrip-level entries in Schedule 112A.

It is available through Zerodha Console, the broker’s back-office and reporting portal, and can be downloaded as a CSV or Excel file. The Tradebook covers all segments, equity delivery, intraday (MIS/BO/CO), futures and options (F&O), currency derivatives, and commodities, providing a single, unified view of trading activity across exchanges.

ITR-ready capital gains statement

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The ITR-ready capital gains statement is a formatted report generated by Zerodha through Zerodha Console that translates the raw trade history into the structured data required to complete Schedule CG (Capital Gains) and the business income schedules of Indian Income Tax Return forms. It is built on the same FIFO computation engine as the Tax P&L statement but is specifically designed to match the schedule-level input fields in ITR-2 (for salaried and capital gains taxpayers) and ITR-3 (for taxpayers with business or professional income, including F&O traders).
