Important guidelines for IPV

You must ensure that only you (the account holder) are present during the IPV. Your IPV will be rejected if anyone else is present.

You do not need to show the 4-digit code during IPV when opening a secondary demat account or updating your contact details.

Special cases

  • Minor accounts: Both the guardian and the minor must be present during the IPV.
  • Joint accounts: Each account holder must use the mobile number mentioned in the KYC forms to complete their own IPV.
