What Are the KYC Requirements to Invest in a Smallcase?

Updated: Jul 26, 2022



When opening an account, Know Your Customer (KYC) is the required procedure for identifying and verifying the customer's identity. The purpose of this is for the business to confirm that its customers are actually who they claim to be.


Smallcase KYC is a straightforward procedure and requires little paperwork. To get started you only need a Demat and trading account with a smallcase supported broker.

These brokers are supported on smallcase:

  1. Zerodha

  2. Angel One

  3. Dhan

  4. Groww

  5. HDFC Securities

  6. Kotak Securities

  7. ICICI Direct

  8. Upstox

  9. 5Paisa

  10. Alice Blue

  11. Axis Direct

  12. Edelweiss

  13. FundzBazar

  14. IIFl Securities

  16. Trustline

Smallcase managers like Rupeeting only require the Permanent Account Number (PAN), the registered mobile number, and the user's birthdate for the billing and KYC confirmation processes.

If you don't already have a Demat and Trading account, the broker will require you to go through the KYC process for opening a new account. One document from the following list must be provided by investors opening Demat and trading accounts with the supported brokers.
