How can a voluntarily deactivated Zerodha account be reactivated?

The below process is to be followed by clients who have voluntarily deactivated their Zerodha accounts. If the Zerodha account has been dormant, Re-KYC is to be done. See, Why did Zerodha send an email requesting KYC details to be updated?

The procedure to reactivate an account that was deactivated at the client's request is as follows:

Online

If a mobile number is linked with the Aadhaar, the Zerodha account can be reactivated online. Create a ticket and submit the e-signed reactivation letter (PDF). To learn how to sign a document digitally, see How to eSign documents.

Offline

Print the reactivation letter (PDF), fill up the details, sign and courier it along with a self-attested copy of the PAN card & address proof (any one: Driving Licence, Voter’s ID, Passport, Aadhaar. If an Aadhaar is being submitted as proof, ensure that a masked Aadhaar is submitted. To learn how to get the masked Aadhaar, see How to download masked Aadhaar? ) to the following address:

Zerodha Customer Support Centre,
680, Fortuna 1, 15th Cross Road,
8th Main Road, 2nd Phase, J. P. Nagar,
Bengaluru, Karnataka, 560078

Sample copy of the reactivation letter (PDF).

The account will be reactivated within 7 working days. The client ID will remain the same, and a new password will be sent to the registered email address.

If the trading account was deactivated and the demat account was closed, the demat application (PDF) must be filled out and submitted to the address mentioned above. If the Zerodha account is closed and not deactivated, the account opening process must be redone. See How to open a Zerodha account online.
