Does Zerodha offer a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) for stocks?

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) can be used to make regular, periodic withdrawals by selling a part of the holdings. While Zerodha does not provide Systematic Fund Withdrawals (SFW) or Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWP) for stocks, clients can use the stock SIP feature.

The stock SIP feature can be used to sell stocks, ETFs and SGBs from the holdings periodically, and the funds are credited to the client's Zerodha account. The funds can be withdrawn or automatically credited to the primary bank account through quarterly settlements. To learn more about quarterly settlement, see What is a quarterly settlement or running account settlement?
