Open a Zerodha account for your kids and invest together

January 24, 2024

Knowing how to manage money is an important life skill, but most Indians aren’t equipped to manage their own finances. This is partly because schools and colleges don’t teach us anything about money. When people start earning, they are in the dark and make simple mistakes they could’ve avoided, or worse yet, fall prey to fraudsters and scammers. 

One of the best ways to teach your child about the basics of money is to get them involved early. This is because we learn some of our most important money lessons when we are young—lessons that stick with us for life. Helping Indians learn how to manage their money is a cause that is near and dear to all of us at Zerodha. We’ve been doing this for well over a decade through Varsity Modules, Varsity videos, offline workshops at schools and colleges, and through Zerodha YouTube, Zero1, Z-Connect, TradingQnA, etc. We even launched Rupeetales and the Varsity Junior video series for kids. 

The one thing we also wanted to do was help parents save and invest in a simple and easy way for their kid’s future. We’re happy to announce that you can now open a Zerodha account for your kids online and invest in stocks, mutual funds, and bonds with your kids. To encourage more parents to invest together with their kids, we made minor account opening free and are also waiving off the Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC). 

How does it work?

You are in control

As a guardian, you are in full control of the minor’s Zerodha account. Minors cannot buy securities on their own. They can only track their portfolio and sell holdings. You can either gift securities to the minor, or the minor can request you to buy securities and then gift them. You can buy stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) government bonds, and sovereign gold bonds on behalf of your kid and then gift them.  Intraday and F&O trading are not allowed in minor accounts.  

Track both your portfolio and the minor’s account

You can also track both your portfolio and your kid’s portfolio together with the Family Accounts feature on Console. This makes it easier for you to plan your kid’s goals. 

How to open an account?

We’ve published a video with a detailed walkthrough of online account opening process.

Here are the documents required and a step by step guide to open an account. 

Please note that the minor’s Aadhaar must be linked to a mobile number to open the demat account online.

To open an account online, visit https://signup.zerodha.com/minor

We’ve also published detailed articles on the most commonly asked questions about minor accounts.

    Hello

  2. naresh says:

    How to add funds to minor account? We opened minor bank account in SBI with my wife as guardian. They say guardian can’t transact and only has viewing rights for internet banking. So now I can’t add funds to minor account to buy mutual funds. Although FAQ says you can gift MF, I don’t get the MFs to choose when I follow the Gifting process steps. So kind of stuck.

    • Shubham says:

      Hi Naresh, for investing in mutual funds, you do not have to add funds to Coin, payment for mutual fund investment is automatically debited from the bank account. Regarding your second query, mutual funds cannot be gifted currently. You can trasnfer these via CDSL Easiest, we’ve explained the process here.

    What are the AMC for this ac. Or is it applicable after they become adult.

      Hi Devendra, AMC is not applicable for minor accounts. Once the minor turns major (18 years old) and converts the account to individual account, AMC will be applicable.

  33. A.T says:

    Hi Zerodha Team,

    I already have a minor account set up for my older child, along with my own account on Zerodha.

    Now, I want to open a new minor account for my younger child. However, when I try to initiate the minor account opening formalities online, it displays details for my older child, such as PAN and bank account information.

    When I click on “Start Over” – “Restarting the application will clear all your saved information. Do you wish to continue?” and clicking “Continue,” it gives a red error – “Form e-signed cannot be reinitiated.”

    Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an option to add another child. I need to understand how to initiate a fresh application and have the option to add details for my younger child.

    Thank you.

    A.T

  60. Dinesh Singh Kushwaha says:

    Thanks for online account opening for minor.
    As an investor I always prefer Either or Survivor mode of operation with my spouse and keeping my children as nominee, that’s why I prefer Mutual Funds in Non-Demat form where it is easier to operate the a/c in E&S mode of operation. But opening online account in E&S mode is not possible.

    what if minor sells off all shares when he/she turns 18 and throw away/spend all of it.

    Then would it not better to keep all this money in parents demat account as anyway capital gain tax will be 10% for long term.

    I mean to ask – what is the benefit by opening demat in minor’s name?

    I do understand ssy etc where account has to be in minor’s name, but why a demat?

    Is English me hamko pata nhi chalta isliye hindi me jankari dijiye

  161. VR says:

    What about the capital gain loss or profit , overall taxation ? Why would one open seperate account for kids if there is no tax exemption or long term tax benifits ; I think its just a marketing trick to showcase the number of account holdings by zerodha ; Rather Zerodha team first improve the customer support service.

    One great initiative is where kids can learn with Toy money, like if parents give them tokens and they can trade and see results. Not actual money, then once they are eligible Parents can convert that to real accounts with real money

  167. rajendra says:

    why minor should have mobile number linked to adhar? as parent i have not given any mobile to my child neither its linked so far.. as good practice why applications makes it mandate? why parents number cannot be linked until he turns major?
