Relevant answers

You can contact Zerodha via:

  • telephone
  • email

The phone support is fast and efficient, we received relevant answers in most cases. We only had one negative experience, where we didn't get a clear and accurate answer as to what documents we should submit and in what format if we want to open an account. Sadly, customer service is only available to clients.

The e-mail support works well. Our questions were answered within 1-2 business days and the replies were helpful.

We missed the live chat and 24/7 availability. Customer support is available from 9 AM to 5 PM from Monday to Saturday.

    Zerodha customer service quality

    We define the quality of a broker's customer service based on its response speed (e.g. if they answer the phone within a few minutes, it counts as quick, but if they make you wait a lot, that’s considered a poor response speed) and their response relevance (i.e. whether they provide a clear answer to your questions or an ambiguous one that needs further clarification).

    On the phone, Zerodha is real quick. They’re at your disposal within a minute, so prepare your questions in advance.

    Email

    Zerodha is quite unpredictable. Sometimes answers come pretty fast, but getting feedback only after 2 days is also not unheard of.
