Can I open a demat account if I already have a trading or commodity account?

Yes, you can open a demat account when you already have a trading account with Zerodha.

To open a demat account:

• Courier the demat application form (PDF) to Zerodha.

Requirements depend on your KYC status:

• Check your KYC status through What is Know Your Customer (KYC), and how can the KYC status be checked?

For specific situations:
