Zerodha Joint Account

Zerodha is a discount broker in India that is a very famous stockbroker for its services and technology-driven trading platforms. Just like every other player in the industry, it also offers Zerodha Joint Account.

So, are you looking at opening a joint account in Zerodha?

Let’s get into all the details of it and we will start with the reason as to why an individual chooses to open a joint account. The list is as follows:

• The individual holds physical shares in a joint demat account with another broker.
• He/she has a joint account with another broker and wishes to close that account after they transfer the shares to the joint account with Zerodha.

This was the answer to a basic question – Can I use a joint account for Zerodha? Now, let’s talk about the account opening process.

Zerodha Joint Account Opening

The account opening process is the same as that of a normal demat account. The only addition to those steps is to name the joint account holders under the designated columns. You can add up to three account holders.

Zerodha joint account has to be opened in offline mode only as the online process does not facilitate this service. The first account holder’s correspondence address should be added in the form as all the communication of the account will be sent only to him/ her.

In the case of the KYC (Know Your Client) requirement, all the account holders have to submit their KYC forms, PAN copies, and individual address proofs.

Note: The tax liability on the profit & loss in the case of a joint demat account is on the first account holder.

By the way, you can open a Zerodha 3 in 1 account as well, through its partnership with the IDFC bank.

Zerodha Joint Account Opening Form

Since the online process is not available for Zerodha joint accounts, you have to take the printout of the account opening form, fill in the details, and send it to the Zerodha head office. You can download the form from here.
