What are the standing instructions and consents taken by Zerodha while opening an account?

The standing instructions and consents taken by Zerodha are as follows:

• Purchase waiver/Confirmation waiver is the instruction from the demat account holder to the Depository Participant (DP) to receive credit to the account. A purchase waiver is mandatory to credit shares when they are purchased from the trading account or transferred from another broker.
• Zerodha flags the Pledge Standing Instruction (SI) as No by default. To change it, open the account offline.
• Zerodha will send the account statements monthly. To change the preference, open the account offline.
• Zerodha will send the account statements to the registered email ID. To receive it physically, open the account offline.
• Email ID is shared with the company Registrar and Transfer agents (RTA) of the shares held in the demat account to receive corporate action notifications, annual reports etc.
• The mode of receiving the annual report and contract notes is electronic. To receive it physically, open the account offline.
• Dividends and interest will be credited to the primary bank account linked to the Zerodha account.
• The demat account is not marked as a Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA) by default. It is updated based on the eligibility criteria information received from the depositories. To learn more about BSDA, see What is a Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA) and how can one be opened at Zerodha?
