Introducing online nomination
Hindi: इस पोस्ट को हिंदी में पढ़ने के लिए यहाँ क्लिक करें।
You can now add single or multiple nominees to your trading & demat account completely online on Console. We will alert your nominee(s) over email/SMS if your account becomes dormant after one whole year of inactivity and you do not activate it by performing reKYC in time in response to the notifications we send you. This is to ensure that your nominee(s) are informed of the existence of your trading & demat account and the nomination in case of any unfortunate eventualities.
Background
While the demat account opening became digital in 2016 (using Aadhaar eSign), adding nominees has been a physical process until now. This is because the process of nomination that the MCA defined mandated the collection of a physical form and multiple witness signatures. The regulation around this changed very recently, with SEBI allowing an option to add up to 3 nominees to your trading & demat account completely online using eSign.
When you open an account with a broker, you open two types of accounts:
- A trading account that is registered with the Exchanges (NSE, BSE, MCX). This is the account where you hold your funds & F&O positions. If there has been no activity in your trading account, the funds will be transferred back to your Bank account as part of the Quarterly settlement, and the nomination that applies to your Bank account would hold valid for such funds. If for any reason, the funds are still lying in the trading account, they can be transferred to the nominee. F&O open positions can’t be transferred, so they will be liquidated and settled before the funds can be transferred to the customer bank or to the nominee.
- A demat account that is registered with the Depository (CDSL at Zerodha). This is the account where you hold your securities in demat or electronic form. Securities once in a demat account can stay here forever unless you sell or transfer them to another demat. So it is important that you add a nominee to this account. Along with adding a nominee, it is also important to keep the nominee informed that you have a demat account, similar to a bank account. As mentioned earlier, we will alert the nominee on the email/mobile provided by you during nominee registration if your account turns dormant after a year of inactivity and you do not come back and enable it by doing a reKYC in time.
Why do the nominees have to be alerted?
A recent survey showed that there is a corpus of over Rs. 82,000 Cr lying in unclaimed deposits in India. This is a conservative estimate and includes:
- Unclaimed Provident Fund Accounts – Rs. 26,497 Cr
- Unclaimed Bank Accounts – Rs. 18,381 Cr
- Inactive Mutual Fund Accounts – Rs. 17,880 Cr
- Unclaimed LIC Policies – Rs. 15,167 Cr
- Matured Fixed Deposits – Rs. 4,820 Cr
- Unclaimed Dividends – Rs. 4,100 Cr
These are unclaimed, most likely because the nominees don’t know of the existence of these assets. We hope that the alert feature will act as a backup for all our customers in case of any unforeseen eventualities.
Also, since we offer direct mutual funds in demat form on Coin, this nomination will automatically cover all your mutual fund holdings along with all your other securities held with us as well.
How to add a nominee
You can do this by visiting Console. If you are adding multiple nominees, make sure to mention the % of holding that you want to allocate to each nominee so that the sum total is 100%.
- You will need Aadhaar linked to your mobile number to receive the OTP and eSign.
- You need to upload the proof of identity of the nominee in PDF format. If you don’t know how to convert your image from JPG to PDF, check this article.
- Once you have completed the above process, nominee addition to the account can take up to 48 hours. You will get an email from us as well as from CDSL (Depository).
- For your privacy, no email notification is sent to the nominee(s) immediately. An alert is sent only when the account becomes dormant after one year of inactivity, and you fail to enable it even after multiple alerts from our side.
- Once you have added one or more nominees, you cannot modify it or add a new nominee online. You will need to send us a physical nomination form. We are working with CDSL (depository) to make this online as well. Nomination is free for the first time, and Rs 25+GST is charged for modifications.
- Non-individual accounts (including HUFs) cannot have nominees. Joint accounts will need to send the physical nomination form.

India's largest retail brokerage
Brilliant. I am hoping everyone can introduce the alert feature. Especially the banks. We save for the rainy day for ourselves and our family, what is the point if it lies unclaimed.
No thanks to Zerodah. Because my mother has mobile number but she doesn’t use email. So I can’t make her my nominee.
My nominee is always rejected…help me…
Hi Raviraj, sorry to hear this. Please create a ticket at support.zerodha.com with details of the issue, so our team can check and have this resolved at the earliest.
It always show request timeout.How can I solve this problem
Hi, could you please try again by uploading a smaller file or an alternate ID proof?
Thank you Zerodha for making it online..
You are the Best
Nice, but Relationship field is confusing. If i am nominating my father, should I mention father or son?
Also whose dob, and whose id proof is required? The account holder or the nominee?
The entire table is for the nominee. Your relationship with the nominee = Father & Nominees ID proof (your Father).
This Nominee relationship field confuses a lot of people. It can be solved with a small tip. As the user selects a relationship option from the deopdown list, a text can appear below –
is your
E.g. if I add my mother’s name and relationship as mother, the text below would read as – Nandita is your Mother.
By showing this text, the user can be sure that he has written correct relationship.
What do you think?
Nominee Name is your Relationship.
This hint text to appear.
hello nithin sir, you have changed broking industry and keep introducing unique and helpfull features.
i want to suggest one idea of giving a 1 lakh cash for one lucky ac holder of zerodha who made loss for the entire year, this will give hope and may even change one mans life every year. and zerodha will be more awesome then ever
good joke, if someone is losing for the whole year means he was not keeping his complete efforts, giving them extra money will make them more irresponsible ,Please teach how to be responsible but don’t even try to support irresponsible persons
I updated my nominee details and uploaded the PAN as proof. But it got rejected. I am not sure about the reason. How can I get this resolved?
How stupid of you to make such simple things most difficult. Above added GIF and the step by step procedure already states that you need to add all these of Nominee.
Thank you zerodha for this most awaiting feature of adding nominees online. You became pioneer in this field also…
I am unable to add 2 nominee, getting error message as “Error updating nominee: Error in secondary nominee address line 1: Allowed characters – hyphen (-), forward slash (/), alphabets, numbers, spaces”. Although I am just adding 2nd nominee address which includes only number and text.
Hey Aditya,
This happens when you have commas in the address field. CDSL does not accept commas in the address field, as a result of which, we don’t either.
IT IS SO EASY TO ADD NOMINEE ONLINE. WHILE READING THIS TWEET I HAVE DONE MY JOB ! THANK U ZERODHA & NITHIN DADA
After online form filling…. is it compulsory to send physical nomination form…
If we dont send physical form… will there be any issue

Second error is that – it accepts the nomination request and then sends an email stating that “Request Rejected”

This is an Excellent. Just a week back approximately I have requested for the Online nomination form Introduction. I’m not sure whether already the process was on going in the background. But I’m Extremely happy to see the introduction of nominee in the Online.
Great thanks to Zerodha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Query : Can the nominees be changed at any time in the online or once submitted cannot be changed.
Clicking Continue does not do anything. Tried in 3 devices and it just does not opens any other page or does not give any error. What to do?
Can we now add the name of nominee during new account opening with Zerodha?
Great.
Was wondering why physical form is insisted only for nominations
hi Zerodha,
Thanks for the much needed initiative to make nominations online.
I read this in this article.
“You will need to send us a physical nomination form. We are working with CDSL (depository) to make this online as well. Nomination is free for the first time, and Rs 25+GST is charged for modifications.”
What does this mean ? Is it mandatory to send physical nomination document ? What then is the use of Online nomination ? This is confusing.
Plz clarify.
Thanks
While trying to add nominee details, I keep getting 2 popup’s with the following errors
Error uploading proof for xxxxx: Request timed out
Error uploading proof for xxxxx: Internal Server error
I tried to edit the nomiee but it says –
Error updating nominee: Error in primary nominee address line 1: Allowed characters – hyphen (-), forward slash (/), alphabets, numbers, spaces
my address is – Flat No 201, Khetani Nivas, Plot No 22, Road No 1, Yashoda Nagar, High Tension Wire Road
No where is the problem in that address?
Commas are also not allowed?
Hi… I too had same issue…I just removed all the comma (.) in the address lines….and it worked !!! 🙂 …. maybe you might like to try it…
Great Move!
Thanks a lot, I have opened a demat account recently and was worried about this feature.
I just completed the Nomination request….Excellent…seamless completion of the Nomination request process… Thank you Zerodha Tech team. This was long awaited requirement.
Hi, while adding nominee I am getting an error “enable browser pop-ups and try again”. I tried to add extension but unable to do it. Let me know if anyone has faced the similar error and how it was resolved.

Thanks Zerodha for providing this facility.
Can a child who has acquired a US or a UK citizenship be nominated ?
If so, what are the documents which need to be uploaded in his/her case ?
Thanks once again.
What about existing user? I can see only the nominee name. I’m not able to see any other contact details of his. How to verify if contact details provided are correct or needs any change. Nor I can see the option as shown in video to add nominee details.
Already raised ticket #20210914995387 but didn’t get satisfactory answer.

Zerodha please solve this issue.
+1, Any resolution for this?
Getting same error
Good article
Dear Mr. Kamath,
This is an absolute essential feature. I have a product in mind which can be much bigger than this. If you can spare 2 mins, I can share it with you.
Can it be changed? I already have a nominee but in case I want to change it
This is really helpful, having this process manual is one of the reasons that most of the retail users miss it. This should be mandatory to put when one opens an account if not then periodic reminders to be set if it’s left blank.
It’s really sad to see so much of corpus unclaimed and most of which belong to the common man who spends his/her entire life saving it for the family! This change is really a step towards financial awareness!
Thank you Zerodha Team! …. you really make investment digital, easy and in reach for the common man!
What is file password in nomination procedure?
Is it same as my contract note file password or i need to add new file paasword
hello
what to do if zerodha reject online nomination for some reason.
how to apply again for nomination.
Document upload option I’d proof of nominee is not working
Useless
Hi Team,
When I am trying to add nominee into my Demat account using Console application.
On entering the Pin Code as ‘122001’ or ‘110001’ then ‘Enter a valid pincode’ is displaying on the screen.
Due to this, I am not able to submit the nominee form. Please advise.
Regards,
Amit Kumar
I want to change the nominee for my account please tell me how can I do this?
I am unable to add second nominee or edit the existing nominee. Its just being read only for me.
Very painful and unhelpful to use. Despite having applied twice with all the necessary documentation the nomination has been rejected. Though there is an option to enter the password for PW protected ID proofs in the online application, have again received a message “• The identity proof uploaded is a password protected file. Please upload an unprotected file for processing this request.”. Zerodha should get their act together and stop wasting their customers time and efforts.
Hey Zerodha team,
The 2nd line of address is not accepting comma”,”. But, this line caption is Area, Town, City etc….How can we write if you don’t allow “,” to separate different sections ?
Thanks
How to modify or change the nominee?
Unable to submit nominee form. Goes to cosole home page but nothing happens. On mobile it says comma not allowed in adress line
I already registered a nominee before this Online Nomination facility was introduced, but now I want to change it, but I am not able to do it, as there is no option for this in Console.
seems you have to send physical copy, online option to change will be great
what about NRI account nomination?
Thanks used the same, Updated in CMR copy
can you please add option to modify/change/update name % share , etc online,
that will be Great.
Great initiative & we are expecting this since long time. Thats why Zerodha is the best.
I already have a nominee. How can I add or change the name? I am not seeing any option for that on Console
What if I have to close the account due to the demise of the account holder?
Nice initiative.
So easy and Handy to update details.
Very very good initiative….
compulsory Physical nomination was not good…
please also add the feature to change nominee online Z-console
Hi team,
Thank you for introducing this feature, I am not sure about the mutual funds, what happens if the account owner is passes away. Will nominee receive the notification about the mutula funds as well.
As on 28th Sep,2021, It gives “Time out error” while adding nominee.
It is the nice brokerage in the world
I like zerodha
Zerodha is zerodha , no one to compete, these are really that the company cares for its investors
It’s a good decision and a strong /warm welcome from clients

PDF docs are not being uploaded! Unfortunately, no error is popping up too on the screen for it. This is bizzare. Hope you folks look this at your server end else its of no avail giving time to fill all details, only to leave it undone just cause PDF doc didn’t get uploaded!
That’s great initiative. But you published this news just with half preparation…..as your portal is not ready to accept this request at this moment. Continue getting errors:
“Error updating nominee”

I have joint demat account and unable to make nomination. The message is ” error fetching schema ” and Error in uploading- JSONDecode error”
I tried once again and this time the reason was “Request timed out” and “Error updating nominee: Service unavailable. Please try after sometime.”
If this is on account of joint a/c what is the solution and can I submit the hard copy by post? Is it likely to be sorted out soon (permission from concerned authorities)?
WHEN I GO TO CONSOLE AND CLICK ‘ONLINE NOMONATION FOR YOUR INVESTMENT’ THE FOLLOWING ERROR APPEARS. ON NOMINATING MY SON WITHOUT BOTHERING ERROR MESSAGE ‘TIMED OUT’ APPEARS

Great idea, poor implementation! As usual, new feature is not working. 🙁
My wife will be my nominee and her full name is KOMAL.
Same is in aadhar and PAN.
But this form, nominee last name is not allowing me to submit as this field is required and giving error for last name as required field.
So let me know what should be filled in last name.
Dear Sir
I have few company shares in physical form in a joint name which I could not include in the Demat account since all my Demat accounts are in my single name. The reason is on the certificate’s names are shortened and some end parts of the name missing and also wrong spelling.
My question is if I buy one quantity of the same company shares which I am holding in Physical form then after nomination in Zerodha will my physical shares can be included in the nominee name by the respective companies. Best regards,
Nuggehalli Srinivasmurthi Venkatachala Iyengar

I get an “Error updating nominee: Service unavailable. Please try after sometime” error every time I try to add a nominee.
I have tried around 5 times now. Can you please ensure your systems are up and working??
Do the people who have sent offline nomination form, need to this online process? Or this is just for first timer’s?

Error updating nominee: Error processing request. Try again.
Online nomination is a good feature – but only if it works.
Unable to add nominee from Console. Getting “Error updating nominee. Error processing request. Try again” error.
Very good idea. At least money will not remain idle.
It’s showing an error message while uploading the nominee details. Request to zerodha to have a look on this. It seems to be a frequent issue as per other comments.
We have tried from our end and it is working fine, request you to troubleshoot the system once and kindly enable cookies in the browser settings and try to update the nominee details.
I wanted to ask this common nominee related question since long. Finally got an opportunity to do so. Question: what if the senior citizen account holder adds his wife as the sole nominee and what if both of them die simultaneously in an accident? How will their married children be informed by Zerodha?
So I suggest a provision made in the application form itself to collect the contact information of their (especially foreign citizens) children like emailid, permanent address, mobile number, pan number, and the sharing per centages.
Love this! Much needed features, especially alerting the nominees.
Kudos team Zerodha!
Love this is much awaited features that we want really amazing…. kudos to Team Zerodha.
Unable to add a nominee. Errors out saying “try again”. No reason given for the failure
I have also experienced the same issue while trying to add the nominee. I attempted around fifteen times last Friday using the trial and error method and got succeeded in the end. Unfortunately on yesterday, my application got rejected citing that the document submitted was password protected whereas the document was not password protected. Now back to square one. My fight with the online nominee application has resumed. No clue when this will end.
Need help badly.
Submit page is throwing error. Unable to add nominee.

Thank you zerodha for the excellent service provided by you.
I think it’s a general notification. I request that you may send individual communication to those demat account holders to use this opportunity and update nomination if at all its not done earlier. Regards,
My addres pin code showing invalid.

Once I have added a nominee, in the nominee tab, it just shows Nominee addition is completed. But is there a way I can see the name of the Nominee and other details that I filled in? Will this appear anywhere just as a confirmation, because as of now the name of the Nominee doesn’t appear once the nominee addition is done. Kindly help with the query, thanks!

Error updating nominee: Failed to esign
If Failed to e-sign error is displayed while completing the online process, upload an alternative ID proof or remove the password protection and upload a file without a password.
Unable to add nominee. Keep getting error message after submitting details. Have tried with eAadhar card as pdf both password protected and password removed. Also tried with PAN card image. Still getting error message. Please urgently fix this problem as my husband is also facing this same problem.
The Console section for Account details, particularly Financial Proofs / docs, is quite pathetic… Can’t see my Financial Info & uploaded documents list on Console website… Plus, nowhere is there a “status of verification” of info or docs submitted !!
The only option is to get back an e-mail containing a link to the uploaded docs – with no info on status of their acceptance, verification, etc … So, please enhance the Console -> My Account section to add full details of my Financial info on Zerodha’s records – Income Range plus List of docs submitted, with Doc Type, Date of submission, Status of verification, and link to Download the doc or to Upload a replacement doc….
This missing feature has become particularly aggravating due to the Operations mess that has resulted in F&O Trading segment being disabled for my Zerodha Account despite my having uploaded updated Financial Proof docs in Console over a week ago (docs uploaded 25-Dec-2021; F&O disabled on 2-Jan-2022)…
Finally, the very solution of sending a “link” to a page via Email and having customers blindly click on a “link” embedded in an Email to download docs, is an unsafe, failure-prone, inefficient and User-unfriendly solution…
Pls do NOT send links via Email to download things like “Contract Notes”, “Financial Docs”, etc. for following very important reasons:
1. It does not work when Customer’s Email server or Zerodha’s outbound Email server is having problems.
2. Clicking on links embedded in Emails exposes customers to risk of hijack of their computer by Spoof emails that mimic Zerodha Email, but provide a link to a harmful software.
3. It is Customer-unfriendly to use this solution – Login via Kite to Console to request a doc, then wait for Email, then click on link in Email, then Login via Kite again to download the requested doc…
Instead, please provide Links within Console to directly download documents from your Website. If you cannot produce some docs instantly and need time, please add a “Requested Docs for Download” section in Console, to show a list of : Request Date, Requested doc, Status of its availability, Date/Time till which available, plus a link to download available docs directly from there… This solution will be a lot more secure and easier to use than the current clunky Email solution… Also, being a Software Professional myself, I can assure you that this is very easy to develop, just needs small changes to your current Email solution. So, please don’t defer acting on this important change request…
I had created Tickets for above issues / needed enhancements to Support as well, but there’s no action…
Support is oriented towards solving immediate issues and closing tickets “somehow”. So, it is not a good channel for reporting software bugs, bad usability or security concerns, or requesting important feature enhancements.
So, request you to create a new Zerodha forum to report and track S/W Bugs, Security or Usability Issues, plus Feature or Enhancement Requests, in which you can post responses, rejected/accepted/alt soln, along with reject reason / expected date of fix or enhancement / desc of alt solution…
Thanks.

Same error: ‘Error updating nominee: Failed to esign’
Any solutions?
Hey Jignesh, please try uploading an alternative document as proof of identity, or upload the file without a password. More details here.
Reduce the file size to any thing under 500 kb(try to keep it under 200 if possible) , unencrypt the file and make sure the file name doesn’t have any special characters.
