Delayed payment interest at Zerodha (18% per annum)

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

Overview

Zerodha charges interest at 18 percent per annum on any debit balance (negative balance) in a client’s trading ledger. A debit balance arises when the client owes money to Zerodha – typically when a trade creates an obligation that exceeds the funds available in the account, when charges are debited and the ledger balance is insufficient, or when MTF interest or other fees accumulate without being settled.

The 18 percent per annum rate translates to 0.0493 percent per day. Interest is calculated daily on the outstanding debit balance and is debited to the client’s ledger periodically. The rate applies to all types of debit balances and is non-negotiable (it is the standard rate disclosed in the account agreement and the schedule of charges).
