Every broker detail page on LetsInvest has a how-to-open walkthrough, but the underlying process is the same everywhere — it is regulated e-KYC, not broker magic. Typical timeline: 15 minutes of forms, account active in 1–2 working days.
Documents you need
- PAN card (mandatory).
- Aadhaar for e-sign / DigiLocker KYC.
- Bank proof: cancelled cheque, statement or passbook.
- Income proof (only for F&O activation): salary slip, ITR, or bank statement.
- A mobile number linked to Aadhaar for OTP.
The steps
- 1. Compare first: broker comparisons and the find-my-broker quiz — switching later is possible but annoying.
- 2. Fill the online form: PAN → Aadhaar OTP → personal details → bank details → nominee.
- 3. e-Sign + IPV: Aadhaar e-sign plus a selfie/video verification.
- 4. e-Mandate / funding: link UPI or net-banking to add funds.
- 5. Start small: run one delivery trade through our brokerage calculator so the real landed cost surprises nobody.
What to check before you sign
- AMC after year one, and DP charges on selling.
- Whether delivery brokerage is ₹0 or ~₹20/order.
- Support channels — you will need them exactly once, urgently.
