4. Complete In-Person Verification (Physical KYC only)
A Zerodha official will verify your identity and take your biometrics (photos and fingerprint).
5. Confirm and Submit
Review the KYC details and submit the application.
1. The Name Game:
A customer named "Bilal" uploaded his Aadhaar card, which misspelled his name as "Bulal." The verification process was halted until the issue was resolved, teaching the importance of double-checking personal details.
2. The Hungry Customer:
A client visited a Zerodha office for physical KYC. While waiting, he started eating a bag of chips, producing a loud crunching sound. The verification process was interrupted multiple times, reminding us to maintain decorum in professional settings.
3. The Selfie Mishap:
During e-KYC, a customer accidentally took a selfie with his feet instead of his face. The KYC application was rejected, emphasizing the need for clear and recognizable photographs.
