Zerodha CKYC and re-KYC: how the statuses work

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

A Zerodha account relies on two separate KYC systems: CKYC , the cross-sector central registry run by CERSAI under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and KRA KYC, the securities-market system run by five SEBI-registered KYC Registration Agencies under the SEBI (KYC Registration Agency) Regulations, 2011. The first gives you a portable 14-digit identifier; the second assigns the status, KYC Validated, KYC Registered or KYC On Hold, that actually controls whether and how you can trade through Kite . Re-KYC is the process of refreshing that securities-market record so it returns to Validated.
