Zerodha&#8217;s refer-and-earn scheme is back with a 10% share of brokerage plus reward points, which makes it one of the more rewarding referral programs in India for bloggers, finance creators and anyone who already uses Zerodha. Here is how it works in 2026, what you can earn and how to withdraw your earnings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/zerodha-affiliate-program.webp\" alt=\"Zerodha affiliate program\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/zerodha-affiliate-program.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/zerodha-affiliate-program-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/zerodha-affiliate-program-1024x538.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/zerodha-affiliate-program-150x79.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/zerodha-affiliate-program-768x403.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> Every Zerodha account holder can join the Zerodha affiliate (referral) program for free. Share your referral link from Kite or Console, and you earn 300 reward points for every friend who opens an account, plus 10% of the brokerage they pay. You can withdraw the brokerage share to your bank account once it crosses \u20b9100, provided you have made at least 3 referrals in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Zerodha is one of the biggest stockbrokers in India, with millions of users who trade and invest daily in the Indian stock market. So wouldn&#8217;t it be a good idea to earn a share of that brokerage as a commission, and use the extra money for your website or your own investments?<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best part about the Zerodha affiliate program is that you don&#8217;t need to apply for it. Every Zerodha account holder is part of the referral program by default. You share your personal referral link with family, friends and readers. When they open a Zerodha account through your link and start trading, you earn a share of the brokerage that Zerodha charges them.<\/p>\n<p>Zerodha relaunched the program on 1 June 2026, as announced on its <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/z-connect\/business-updates\/zerodhas-referral-program-is-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Z-Connect blog<\/a>. Here is what you get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>10% brokerage share:<\/strong> you earn 10% of the brokerage generated by every account you refer, for as long as they keep trading and the program runs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>300 reward points:<\/strong> for every referred friend who opens an account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No limit:<\/strong> you can refer as many people as you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only the brokerage is shared. Taxes, exchange and SEBI charges, call-and-trade fees and interest on margin funding are not included. Zerodha offers free equity delivery, so most of your earnings come from referrals who trade intraday, futures or options, which carry a flat brokerage per order.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_join_the_Zerodha_referral_program\"><\/span>How to join the Zerodha referral program<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open a Zerodha account if you don&#8217;t have one yet.

You can also use them to pay your demat Account Maintenance Charge (AMC), which saves you real money every year. Points are forfeited if you close your Zerodha account, so use them while your account is active.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_withdraw_Zerodha_referral_earnings\"><\/span>How to withdraw Zerodha referral earnings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can withdraw your 10% brokerage share from Console when all these conditions are met:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your referral earnings add up to at least \u20b9100.<\/li>\n<li>You have referred at least 3 new clients in the last 12 months (counted on a rolling basis).<\/li>\n<li>Your Zerodha ledger balance is positive.<\/li>\n<li>Your PAN is linked with Aadhaar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The money goes only to your primary bank account linked with Zerodha. Unclaimed balances of \u20b9100 or more are paid out automatically after 31 March each year if you meet the conditions; smaller amounts are converted into reward points at 2X value.

The AP program is a business arrangement with its own eligibility rules, exchange registration and revenue-sharing terms.
