How to verify a call or SMS claiming to be from Zerodha

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

To verify whether a call, SMS, or person claiming to be from Zerodha is genuine, match the calling number against Zerodha’s official published contact list on support.zerodha.com; Zerodha’s genuine calls come only from that list of registered numbers, and a number outside it is not Zerodha. Layer on a behavioural test that does not depend on the number at all: Zerodha staff never ask for your OTP, password, PIN, or KYC documents, never ask you to transfer funds, and never give stock tips over the phone. A caller doing any of these is an impostor regardless of the number on your screen.
