3-in-1 account at Zerodha

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

3-in-1 account at Zerodha refers to the integration of three distinct financial accounts, a savings bank account, a demat account, and a trading account, into a single functional unit that allows funds and securities to move between them with minimal friction. The concept of a 3-in-1 account originated in India when HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank began offering tightly integrated savings + demat + trading packages through their own brokerage arms. Zerodha does not offer a traditional 3-in-1 account in the sense used by bank-sponsored brokers, because Zerodha is a standalone discount broker and does not hold a banking licence. However, Zerodha does integrate its trading account (Zerodha Broking Limited) and demat account (CDSL or NSDL via Zerodha DP) with the client’s existing savings bank account at any scheduled commercial bank, creating a functional 3-in-1 experience without the account being held under one institutional umbrella.

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

Overview

Zerodha charges a one-time account opening fee of Rs 200 for the equity and derivatives trading account bundled with a CDSL demat account. An additional Rs 100 is charged for adding a commodity trading account (for MCX trading). NRI account opening carries a higher fee of Rs 500, reflecting the additional compliance and documentation requirements. There are no annual renewal charges for the trading account itself; the separate annual maintenance charge (AMC) of Rs 300 plus GST applies to the CDSL demat account from the second year onward.

Zerodha LLP account

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

Zerodha LLP account is a trading and demat account opened in the name of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) by Zerodha for managing the LLP’s investable surplus in Indian financial markets. LLPs in India are governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and are registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). An LLP is a distinct legal entity separate from its partners, combining the organisational flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability protection of a company. This makes the LLP account distinct from a partnership firm account, where the firm is not a separate legal entity and partners bear unlimited personal liability.

Zerodha partnership firm account

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

Zerodha partnership firm account is a trading and demat account opened in the name of a partnership firm by Zerodha for managing the firm’s treasury or investment portfolio in Indian financial markets. Partnership firms in India are governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. Unlike a company, a partnership firm is not a separate legal entity distinct from its partners; it is a body of persons carrying on business together with the intent to share profits. However, a partnership firm is treated as a separate assessable entity under the Income Tax Act, 1961, enabling it to obtain a PAN and hold assets in its name.

Zerodha resident individual account

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

Zerodha resident individual account is the standard trading and demat account opened by Zerodha for individual residents of India under the SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub-brokers) Regulations, 1992. It is the most common account type on the Kite platform and serves as the reference account against which all other Zerodha account variants are defined. The account combines a trading account (held with Zerodha Broking Limited) and a demat account (held with either CDSL or NSDL) under a single onboarding workflow.

Zerodha sole proprietorship account

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

Zerodha sole proprietorship account is a trading and demat account opened in the name of a sole proprietorship business by Zerodha for managing the business’s investable surplus or for the proprietor to trade under the firm’s identity. A sole proprietorship is not a legal entity distinct from the proprietor; there is no separate statute governing sole proprietorships in India (unlike companies under the Companies Act, 2013 or LLPs under the LLP Act, 2008). The sole proprietorship and the individual proprietor are the same person in the eyes of the law. Accordingly, a sole proprietorship account at Zerodha is structurally very similar to a resident individual account, with the primary distinction being that the account is opened in the business’s name (e.g., “M/s ABC Traders”) using the proprietor’s PAN, and is linked to the firm’s bank account (current account in the firm’s name).
