As per SEBI guidelines (WEB), KYC Registration Agencies (KRA) are responsible for validating clients' KYC details as per their records. The KRA sends an email and SMS to inform existing and new clients that their KYC has been successfully registered.

Clients can also validate their Aadhaar details by following the onscreen instructions mentioned on the KRA website. If the details on the KRA portal are incorrect, clients have to do a ReKYC and update the details as per Aadhaar. To learn how to do a ReKYC, see How to reactivate the Zerodha account? The ReKYC request is processed within 72 hours, after which Zerodha informs KRA to update their records. This can take an additional 5 working days.
