How To Open Your Account

Step-by-Step Signup Process

Follow these 5 steps in order to successfully open your Zerodha demat account online. The entire process is paperless and takes about 15–20 minutes.

1

Enter Phone Number, Email & PAN

Start the signup by visiting the Zerodha signup page using the link below. Use the same phone number and email address that you provided to Fincliniq for registration. If you haven't registered with us yet, call us first so we can register your details and ensure you receive our extended support.

  • Enter your mobile number and verify with OTP
  • Enter your email address and verify with OTP
  • Enter your PAN number and Date of Birth
  • Click Continue to proceed to the next step
2

Link Aadhaar Through DigiLocker

In this step, your Aadhaar will be linked to your Zerodha account through DigiLocker — a secure government platform. Make sure your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is nearby to receive the OTP. Note: The mobile number used in this step can be different from the one you used to register.

  • Choose your required trading segments (Equity, F&O, Currency, Commodity) and click Continue
  • Click Continue to DigiLocker
  • Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number
  • Enter the OTP received on your Aadhaar-linked mobile number
  • Enter your DigiLocker PIN (or create one if new)
  • Click Allow to grant permission to Zerodha to fetch your details
3

Provide Personal Details & Partner Code

Fill in your personal details as requested. This is also where you enter the Fincliniq partner code to ensure your account is linked to us for post-signup support and exclusive group access.

  • Enter your parents' names (father's and mother's)
  • Select your marital status, annual income range, trading experience, and occupation
  • Look for the "Assisted By" field and enter the code below:
🏷️ Fincliniq Partner Code — enter exactly as shown:
🔑 ZMPCDF
  • If you don't see the "Assisted By" field, call us — we'll guide you through it
  • Bank linking via UPI (Recommended): Scan the QR code shown and pay ₹1 — your bank details are registered instantly without any bank proof upload
  • Bank linking manually: Enter your IFSC code and bank account number — you will need to upload bank proof in Step 4
  • Take a selfie using your camera — capture and confirm
4

Upload Required Proofs

You will now be prompted to upload document proofs as required. If you linked your bank via UPI in Step 3, you may not need to upload bank proof separately. Fill in nominee details (optional) and proceed.

  • Upload your signature sample scan copy when prompted
  • Upload your bank proof (passbook / cancelled cheque / bank statement) if required — only needed for manual bank linking
  • Click Continue to proceed
  • Provide Nominee details (optional — you can skip or fill in a family member's name and relationship)
  • Proceed to the eSign step
5

E-Sign Your Documents

The final step is to electronically sign your account opening documents using Aadhaar-based OTP. You will need to do this twice to sign all documents. After a successful eSign, your Client ID will be generated.

  • Click Sign Now
  • Enter your Aadhaar number when prompted
  • Enter the OTP received on your Aadhaar-linked mobile number — you will need to do this twice
  • Click Finish to complete the signing
  • Your Client ID (Zerodha login ID) will be displayed on screen
  • You will have the option to set your login password immediately

Things to Keep in Mind

Important Notes & Requirements

Review these key points before you begin your signup to avoid delays or rejections.

⚠️
Name Must Match Across All Documents
Your name on your PAN card, Aadhaar card, and bank proof must be exactly the same. Any mismatch — even in spelling or initials — can cause your application to be rejected or delayed. If there is a discrepancy, resolve it before starting the process.
📱
Aadhaar-Linked Mobile Number Must Be Available
You will receive OTP on the mobile number registered with your Aadhaar at least twice — once during DigiLocker linking and again during eSign. This mobile number can be different from the one you used to register with us. Ensure it is active and with you during the process.
💡
UPI Bank Linking Saves You Extra Steps
In Step 3, choosing the UPI method to link your bank is highly recommended. Scanning the QR and paying ₹1 registers your bank instantly — meaning you won't need to upload a separate bank proof document in Step 4. This makes the process faster and easier.
🔑
Enter Fincliniq's Partner Code — ZMPCDF
In Step 3, when you see the "Assisted By" field, enter ZMPCDF exactly as shown. This links your account with Fincliniq. If you don't see this field, call us immediately and we will guide you. This code is what enables your extended support, guidance, and access to our exclusive Fincliniq-Zerodha groups.
📄
Bank Proof Format Matters
If you are uploading a passbook copy or bank statement, it must clearly show the bank logo, bank name, your name, IFSC code, and MICR code. Mobile screenshot-based proofs are often rejected — download a proper PDF statement or use a high-quality scan of your passbook front page.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about opening a Zerodha demat account through Fincliniq.

You need the following documents: (1) PAN card number, (2) Aadhaar number, (3) a signature sample scan copy, and (4) bank proof — which can be one of: passbook front page scan (showing IFSC, MICR, bank logo and name), cancelled cheque with your name printed, or a PDF online bank statement with IFSC and MICR codes. Additionally, make sure your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is available for OTP verification.
Yes, absolutely. The name on your PAN card, Aadhaar card, and bank proof must be identical. Any mismatch in spelling, initials, or format can lead to your application being rejected or put on hold. If your names don't match across these documents, you should resolve this before starting the signup process. Contact us if you need help understanding what to do in case of a mismatch.
Yes, an Aadhaar-linked mobile number is mandatory. You will receive OTP on this number at least twice during the process — once when linking your Aadhaar through DigiLocker, and again during the eSign step. The good news is that this Aadhaar-linked mobile number can be different from the phone number you used to register with us or to log in to Zerodha.
The Fincliniq Assisted By code is ZMPCDF. You need to enter this in the "Assisted By" field during Step 3 of the signup (Personal Details section). This code links your Zerodha account to Fincliniq, which enables you to receive our exclusive post-account support, guidance, and access to the Fincliniq-Zerodha support groups. If you do not see this field during signup, call us immediately and we will assist you.
Yes! In fact, UPI is the recommended method. During Step 3, when you are asked to provide bank details, you can choose the UPI option. You will be shown a QR code — simply scan it using any UPI app (like GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) and make a ₹1 payment. Your bank account gets registered automatically, and you will not need to upload a separate bank proof document in Step 4. This makes the process faster and simpler.
Once you have successfully completed the eSign step, contact Fincliniq immediately by calling or WhatsApp messaging any of our numbers: 7598884020, 8903334020, 9597984020, or 9363034020. Let us know you've finished the eSign, and we will follow up with Zerodha to get your demat account opened as quickly as possible. You will also be added to our exclusive Fincliniq-Zerodha support groups where you'll receive ongoing guidance and assistance.
Yes, the Zerodha demat account is free to open — there are no account opening charges. The only payment you may make during the process is ₹1 if you choose the UPI method to link your bank account (this is a verification payment and goes to your own account). Annual maintenance charges (AMC) may apply depending on your account type — Zerodha will communicate these to you separately.
Opening through Fincliniq — a Zerodha Authorised Partner — gives you significant advantages beyond just the account opening process. You get: dedicated post-account support and guidance from our team, access to exclusive Fincliniq-Zerodha support groups with market insights and trading tips, personalised assistance for any account-related queries, and a trusted point of contact for all your Zerodha-related needs.
