Why is there a mismatch between PIS account balance and Kite balance?

Your PIS account balance differs from what you see on Kite because Zerodha reduces certain amounts as part of risk management measures. This ensures sufficient funds remain in your PIS account to avoid delays in bank settlements.

What Zerodha deducts from your PIS balance

Zerodha updates your funds on Kite after reducing:

  • 0.5% of your PIS closing balance
  • Bank reporting charges of ₹118 (₹100 + 18% GST)
  • Value of shares you bought

How the calculation works

Scenario 1: No trades placed

  • PIS closing balance: ₹10,00,000
  • Deductions: ₹5,000 (0.5%) + ₹118 (bank charges) = ₹5,118
  • Your Kite balance: ₹9,94,882

Scenario 2: Trades placed

  • PIS closing balance: ₹15,00,000
  • Trade value: ₹9,94,000
  • Deductions: ₹7,500 (0.5%) + ₹118 (bank charges) + ₹9,94,000 (trades) = ₹10,01,618
  • Your Kite balance: ₹4,98,382
