The PAN verification may fail while opening a Zerodha account for any of the following reasons:
- Various intermediaries verify your PAN across the Income Tax Department (ITD), KYC-Registration Agencies (KRA) and Zerodha's internal systems. Your PAN verification can fail if intermittent issues arise in the existing systems due to maintenance.
- You are using a PAN that already has an account with Zerodha.
- NSDL has marked your PAN as invalid, or you entered an incorrect PAN.
- Your name does not match the PAN card or ITD records.
In such cases, retry after some time.
Did you know?
You can open only one Zerodha account with one PAN. If you previously opened an account with the PAN and now need to reopen it,
create a ticket.
