NRI accounts: If you are an NRI client, you require a CP code to trade in F&O. Zerodha has partnered with Orbis to provide custodial services. To learn more about Orbis, visit orbisfinancial.in. For assistance with obtaining your CP code, create a ticket.
Minors: You cannot enable F&O if you have a minor account as you cannot place intraday and F&O orders.
