To link your Aadhaar with your Angel One demat account, visit the NSDL Aadhaar seeding portal, enter your DP ID, client ID, PAN number, and Aadhaar number, verify via OTP sent to your linked mobile, and submit. This links Aadhaar online instantly and keeps your demat account active and compliant. Linking Aadhaar not only meets SEBI and CDSL regulations but also adds multiple benefits.

Once seeded, your demat account will be protected from potential freezes or suspensions, and you can complete e-KYC smoothly without uploading physical documents. The linked Aadhaar helps Angel One verify your identity faster during transactions or account changes.

This improves your experience by reducing paperwork and avoiding delays. Make sure the mobile number registered with your Aadhaar is active, as OTPs are critical to verification. Double-check the DP ID and client ID from your Angel One account to avoid errors. After submitting, you'll get confirmation immediately and a follow-up SMS. If any issue arises, Angel One’s support team is ready to assist via chat or call, making this process easy and secure.

Why should I link Aadhaar with Angel One demat?

Linking Aadhaar is mandatory as per SEBI and CDSL rules. It helps in easy e‑KYC, prevents your demat account from being frozen, speeds up verification and prevents identity fraud. It also reduces paperwork and keeps your financial transactions smooth.

What information is needed before starting?

Keep your DP ID and client ID (displayed in Angel One app), PAN number, Aadhaar number, and the mobile number linked to Aadhaar ready. You’ll need these details to complete the OTP verification process.

How to start linking Aadhaar online?

Visit the NSDL Aadhaar linking portal and select the option to link Aadhaar with demat. Fill in DP ID, client ID, your PAN and Aadhaar numbers, then click proceed. You will need to enter OTPs received on both your demat-linked and Aadhaar-linked mobiles.

How does OTP verification work?

First OTP comes on the mobile number registered with your demat account. After entering it, a second OTP is sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile. Once both are validated, Aadhaar gets seeded successfully in real time and you receive confirmation.

How long does linking take?

Linking is completed immediately after OTP verification. You'll get an on-screen confirmation and an SMS. It may reflect fully in your demat account within 1–3 working days.

How can I confirm Aadhaar is linked?

You can use the UIDAI Aadhaar linking status portal. Enter your Aadhaar number and OTP to check if your demat account is listed under linked accounts.

What if OTP fails or errors occur?

Ensure both mobile numbers are active and linked to Aadhaar. If OTP doesn’t arrive, wait a few minutes and retry. For repeated issues, contact Angel One support or your DP immediately for help.

What happens if I don’t link Aadhaar?

If Aadhaar is not seeded, your demat account may be frozen in the future and you will not be able to trade. It’s important to complete linkage soon to avoid any disruptions in investing or transacting.

Can I link Aadhaar offline?

Yes, you can fill out the Aadhaar seeding form and submit it with self-attested copies of PAN and Aadhaar to the registrar's office. But online linking is faster, easy and paperless.
