About the Referral Program

Built on trust since Zerodha's inception in 2010

Zerodha would rather reward clients who refer with trust than spend heavily on ads.

A lot of Zerodha's customers came to them the same way: someone they trusted told them to. They have never run a newspaper or TV ad, and never plan to. A typical broker spends 10 to 15% of its revenue on marketing. Zerodha would rather hand that money to the people who actually do the convincing.

That belief is as old as Zerodha; they were the first broker in India to share a slice of their brokerage with the clients who referred others, and ran it that way right from day one in 2010. The program was temporarily paused due to regulatory mandates, but is now back.

Zerodha Referral Program Banner

Zerodha's referral program is back, enabling clients to share in the brokerage generated by their referrals. For every account opened through your referral, you earn 10% of the brokerage they generate, plus 300 reward points for each successful referral.

You will also continue to get 300 reward points for each successful referral. You can redeem these in Console for subscriptions to products like Tijori, MProfit, and Quicko, or put them towards your Account Maintenance Charge (AMC).

You can withdraw your referral brokerage share from Console once you accrue a minimum of ₹500, starting from August 1, 2026. Please note that only referrals made from June 1, 2026, are eligible for the brokerage share, and accounts referred under the older program won't carry over.

A Good Time to Tell a Friend

There has never been an easier time to bring someone on board. From June 1, 2026, anyone opening a fresh account won't pay AMC for their first year. And if they are moving holdings over from another broker, Zerodha will refund their transfer charges up to ₹500. This leaves fewer reasons to hesitate, which means your referral is far more likely to go through.

So if there is someone you have been meaning to nudge towards investing the right way, now is the perfect moment. Happy referring!
