Transfer funds into your trading account

Traders,

Check out these easy steps to transfer funds into your trading account using ZT/Kite/Pi either for Equity/F&O/Currency or Commodities.

While trading at Zerodha, you can transfer funds to your trading account using the instant payment gateway (Rs 9 per transfer), NEFT/RTGS/IMPS or through cheques.

Our instant payment gateway is available for around 30 banks mentioned here. You will need your internet banking ID and password for using this facility. This will cost Rs9, but will be an instant transfer of funds to your trading account.

NEFT/RTGS can be done through your bank account, but will take between 2 to 8 hours based on what mode you choose transfer. RTGS takes around 2 hours and NEFT can take upto 8 hours.

IMPS (Instant Credit) can also be done through your bank account or your mobile phone

You can also write a cheque in favor of Zerodha, but the credit will be given only once the cheque has cleared and the funds have arrived into our pool account. Given below is the explanation for all the 3 processes:

1. Instant Payment Gateway facility on ZT

When you choose Equity/F&O/Currency, the same funds can be used across all the 3 segments but not for commodity. Similarly when you choose commodities and transfer funds, it can be used only for commodity.

Step 1: Login to Zerodha Trader and under the Secure URL link you will find the option called PAYIN. Click on that. A new internet browser window will open as shown below.

In the new window, choose your bank account in the first dropdown. Once chosen, it will automatically show your account number.

Step 3: You will see the following window after you authorize the transfer. If you haven’t seen it, wait for a few seconds till you see the window. Once you see the below window, click on the close button as shown and nowhere else. It is important that you click on that close window because if you don’t, the fund transfer won’t be instant and can take some time… This is one of the reasons for us to receive the maximum number of queries. So watch this step carefully:

4. RTGS/NEFT/IMPS & Cheques to deposit funds in your Trading account:

If you don’t have a bank account with the ones that we have a tie up with or if you have forgotten your login id/password, you can use any of these modes mentioned below to transfer funds.

NEFT/RTGS can be done either using your online banking account or by walking to the nearest branch.

IMPS can be done either using your online banking account or using your mobile phone

You can also transfer funds by depositing a cheque by mentioning Zerodha account details. You can drop off a cheque at any HDFC Bank with your client ID mentioned behind the cheque. As mentioned earlier, the credit will be given only once the cheque has been cleared and might take upto 5 days for outstation cheques.

RTGS can be done only for amounts above Rs 2 lakh and will take around 2 hours for the funds to show up in your trading account. NEFT can take upto 8 hours for the funds to show up. Time taken also depends on when the transfer is done. Usually if you do the transfer late afternoon, you would most likely get the credit only the next day.

If you are transferring funds through IMPS , here is the process.

Step 1 – You need to make an IMPS transfer to the Zerodha account. Details mentioned here.

Step 2 – After this, you need to go q.zerodha.com and click on the funds tab and in the IMPS upload box mention the amount you have transferred
