Opening a demat and trading account no longer needs a branch visit or paper forms. With Aadhaar-based e-KYC, you can complete the whole process on your phone. This guide explains the general steps for opening an Angel One account through Aadarna Stock Broking, an Authorised Person of Angel One Ltd.
Screens change with updates, so follow the steps shown on Angel One's onboarding page as you go. For a broader explanation, read our article on [opening a demat account online](/blog/how-to-open-demat-account-online).
What to keep ready
- PAN card: your name and date of birth must match across PAN, Aadhaar and bank records.
- Aadhaar with your current mobile number linked, for OTP-based e-KYC.
- Bank account in your own name: account number and IFSC, and a cancelled cheque or statement if asked.
- Signature on white paper, to photograph or upload.
- Income proof, only if you want to activate futures & options or commodities.
General steps
- Start from the Open Demat Account button on aadarna.com. It takes you to Angel One's official onboarding page, with your account mapped to Aadarna for support.
- Enter your mobile number and email and verify them with OTPs.
- Enter your PAN and date of birth.
- Complete e-KYC with Aadhaar OTP or DigiLocker.
- Add your bank details.
- Upload your signature and complete the in-person verification, usually a short selfie or video in the app.
- Choose the segments you want and add a nominee.
- Review everything and e-sign the application with the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile.
- Wait for approval. Angel One shares your client ID and login details once the account is active.
Common reasons for delays
- Name or date-of-birth mismatch between PAN and Aadhaar.
- Aadhaar not linked to a working mobile number.
- PAN not linked to Aadhaar.
- Blurry signature or document uploads.
- In-person verification video in poor light.
