It is critical for traders and investors to file their taxes, whether they made a profit or a loss. People often think that they don’t need to file taxes if they’ve made losses, but that’s not true. We also understand that filing your taxes might seem difficult, so we have created reports on Console to […]

It’s a weird paradox that we have so much financial content, but so little of it is good. Most of what passes for financial content today is dangerous nonsense. Sadly, this gets the maximum attention. At Zerodha, we have always tried to publish high-quality content from day 1 on all things markets, from Varsity, Z-Connect, […]

We have built an economic calendar that is powered by IndiaDataHub to make this easy for you.

You can now withdraw funds within seconds from your Zerodha account to your primary bank account using the Instant Withdrawal feature.

The last quarter was a busy one for us at Zerodha, and we launched several cool features. We have collated all these updates in this post in case you missed any.

Invest in the National Pension Scheme (NPS) on Coin. NPS is a brilliant option for saving for your retirement as it forces you to invest in a diversified portfolio of equities and debt by default. It’s also one of the cheapest investment options out there and tax-efficient.

If you have a portfolio of stocks, today there is no one place where you can get updates about all the events and developments that affect your investments. This is where the new Timeline and Stock Insight feature on Console, powered by Tijori comes in.

Sovereign Green Bonds (SGrBs) are issued by the Government of India to raise money for green projects to reduce carbon emissions. You can now invest in SGrBs on Zerodha Kite.

The best way to teach kids about money is to start early. You can now open a Zerodha minor account online and invest in stocks and mutual funds.

One of the biggest problems for the Indian markets is the shallow participation. We have about 8 crore demat account holders and 4 crore unique mutual fund investors.

Dark patterns are everywhere, these are tricks used by applications and websites to make users do things they don’t want to. They rely on exploiting our behavioural biases and cognitive limitations. We all encounter dark patterns in our daily lives, like making it easy to subscribe but hard to unsubscribe, pre-selecting actions like purchasing insurance, […]

An ideal portfolio should have a mix of multiple asset classes like equity, debt, and gold. Diversification helps you reduce risk and behave better.

  One of the biggest reasons for active traders to lose money is overtrading. And having low brokerage only makes them trade more—something this research paper has explored in detail. While how much brokerage you pay is limited for each order, other charges like STT, exchange transaction charges, stamp duty, impact costs, etc., are levied […]

We’re glad to announce that we’ve finally launched the instant sale of pledged stocks feature on Kite, which has been one of our clients’ most requested features for several years.

Encouraging greater participation in the auction markets and reducing the impact of auction penalties due to short delivery have been on our to-do for a long time.
