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 need to verify your Know Your Customer (KYC) details.

Why you need to keep your trading account active and not dormant:
  1. Regulatory Compliance: Maintaining an active account ensures compliance with SEBI regulations and KYC norms, helping to avoid potential issues or penalties.
  2. Smooth Access to Services: Regular activity helps keep your account information up-to-date, ensuring seamless access to trading services, tools, and support provided by FYERS.
  3. Investment Opportunities: Staying active allows you to take advantage of market opportunities without delays caused by account reactivation processes.
  4. Ease of Transactions: Regular use of your account keeps your KYC information up-to-date, making any future transactions smoother and faster.
If your account is in dormant status, kindly refer to this article for the reactivation process.

For more detailed guidelines, refer to the SEBI Circular on KYC Norms and the Framework for Automated Deactivation.
