This guide walks a family member, helper, or the holder through opening a Zerodha demat and trading account for a visually impaired, blind, or illiterate person. The account is the same one any resident opens, under the same SEBI KYC rules, but the collection method follows specific depository provisions: a thumb impression in place of a signature, a witness, and a read-out of the binding documents. Those provisions are written in the CDSL DP Operating Instructions and reinforced by a 2025 SEBI accessibility circular, and this guide quotes the clause numbers so a helper can hold the depository participant to them.
