How to add a trusted account on CDSL Easiest?

You can add a trusted account on CDSL Easiest to transfer stocks from your demat account. You need to add accounts as trusted before you can transfer securities to them through CDSL Easiest.

Adding a trusted account

Follow these steps to add a trusted account:

  1. Log in to web.cdslindia.com/myeasitoken/home/login.
  2. Click on Miscellaneous and then Edit Trusted Account.

3. Click on Add Trusted Account and enter the 16-digit CDSL BO ID where you want to transfer stocks. If you are adding a Zerodha account as trusted, you can find the BO ID on Console. Securities transferred to an incorrect BO ID cannot be reversed, similar to a fund transfer to the wrong bank account.

Things to keep in mind

  • You can only add CDSL demat accounts as trusted accounts using this process
  • You can map up to 4 trusted accounts at any time
  • If you need to add a new account when you already have 4 trusted accounts, you must delete an existing mapped account first
  • Depository Participant (DP) approves deletion requests within 24 working hours
  • You can also transfer shares from Zerodha to NSDL demat accounts via CDSL easiest. However, you cannot add an NSDL BO ID as a trusted account, and shares can only be transferred by selecting the account of choice transfer option.
