You can contact Zerodha via:
- telephone
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).
