What Is a Dormant Account?
A dormant account is one that has had no trading activity for 365 consecutive days. In such cases, the exchanges consider the account dormant and mark it as inactive. To reactivate a dormant account, you must verify your Know Your Customer (KYC) details.
Why You Should Keep Your Account Active
- Regulatory Compliance: Staying active ensures compliance with SEBI regulations and KYC norms, helping you avoid penalties or restrictions.
- Smooth Access to Services: Regular activity keeps your information updated, ensuring seamless access to FYERS trading services and support.
- Investment Opportunities: An active account lets you take advantage of market opportunities without delays from reactivation processes.
- Ease of Transactions: Active use ensures your KYC stays updated, making future transactions faster and smoother.

Tip: Place at least one trade or log in and maintain activity periodically to prevent your account from being marked dormant.
