What happens to my shares and mutual funds if I close my Zerodha account?

You must sell all your holdings before closing your Zerodha account. Your Demat account (held with CDSL/NSDL via Zerodha) can be transferred to another SEBI-registered broker if you don't want to sell your shares — this is called a Demat transfer. Contact Zerodha support for the DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) to initiate a transfer.

Are there any charges for closing a Zerodha account?

Zerodha doesn't charge a specific account closure fee. However, if you wish to transfer your Demat holdings to another broker, stamp duty and DP charges apply per transaction. India's SEBI regulates these charges and they vary by broker and transaction size.

How long does it take to close a Zerodha account?

The email-based closure process typically takes 7–15 business days from when Zerodha support receives your request. Demat transfers to another broker can take an additional 3–7 business days after the DP instruction is processed.

Hoidmisnõuanded

Before closing your Zerodha account, consider that Zerodha is India's largest retail stockbroker with ₹0 brokerage on equity delivery trades. There's no monthly maintenance fee for your trading account. If you're not actively trading, you can simply leave the account dormant — you only pay the annual Demat AMC fee (₹300/year). You can also transfer your Demat holdings to another broker without selling. Would you like to keep your account open or explore a Demat transfer instead?
