Why was the referral not mapped even though the affiliate link was shared?

Starting June 1, 2026, if you refer someone who opens an account and starts trading, you'll earn 10% of the brokerage they generate, plus 300 reward points. The 300 reward points have always been part of the program. Brokerage sharing was paused in August 2024 following an exchange circular and is live again.

Referral payouts also cover your previously referred accounts. You'll earn 10% of any brokerage they generate from June 1st onwards, as long as you've referred at least 3 accounts in 12 months.

Your referral may not be mapped for these reasons:

  • If a prospect has registered with Zerodha by entering their contact details on the Zerodha website and later completes the account opening process using the referral link.
  • A referral is valid for 60 days. If the referral opens an account after this, the referral mapping will not be done.
  • Referral mapping will not be applicable for clients who close and reopen their accounts.
