This guide enables the commodity segment, the MCX leg, on a Zerodha account. It is written for a reader who already holds or is opening a Zerodha trading and demat account and wants to add gold, silver, crude oil, and the other Multi Commodity Exchange contracts to the same login. The commodity segment is a derivatives segment, so it carries an income-proof gate that the cash-equity account does not.

There is no such thing as a standalone Zerodha commodity account. Commodity activation rides on top of an equity trading and demat account, the same way the F&O segment and the currency segment do.

The conceptual background to what you are trading sits at commodity trading and the Zerodha-specific cost detail at Zerodha commodity brokerage .
