How to Open an Aetram Trading Account Online: Step-by-Step Guide (2026)
Starting your investment journey begins with one simple step: opening a trading and demat account. If the process sounds complicated, it isn’t. Aetram’s fully digital, paperless onboarding lets you open a Trading and Demat account online in just a few minutes, with no physical paperwork or branch visits required.
This guide will walk you through the steps involved in opening an account with Aetram, the documents you’ll need, and what to expect at each stage of the KYC process.
Documents required to open an Aetram Demat account
Before you start, keep these ready so the process goes through without interruption:
- PAN card (mandatory for all trading accounts in India)
- Aadhaar number linked to your PAN and your mobile number
- Bank account details or a UPI-linked bank account
- A live selfie and digital signature for identity verification
For the complete, SEBI-mandated list of accepted identity and address proofs, see Aetram’s KYC documents guide
With these in hand, here’s the complete account opening process, step by step.
Step 1: Start your application
Head to Aetram’s account sign-up page. This is your entry point into the onboarding process and from here, Aetram guides you through each step automatically.
Step 2: Verify your mobile number and email
Enter your mobile number and email address, then verify both using OTPs sent. This step secures your account and ensures you receive every trade alert, contract note, and market update without delay.
Step 3: Enter your PAN and date of birth
Your PAN and date of birth (format is DD/MM/YYYY) are mandatory fields under SEBI regulations for opening any trading account in India.
Step 4: Enter your Aadhaar details for verification
Enter your Aadhaar card number for accessing DigiLocker. In DigiLocker, select Aadhaar and PAN for KYC verification. This is used to fetch your details to confirm your identity and maintain regulatory compliance.
Step 5: Check personal details
Check your full name, gender, mobile, email id and address and click continue. Select your marital status, educational qualifications, occupation, annual income, your trading experience. After that, enter your mother’s name and place of birth. Then, make sure to answer the set of questions you see on the screen.
Step 6: Add nominee
Adding a nominee to your demat and trading account is prudent. While nominee registration isn’t compulsory, it’s strongly recommended, as it ensures your investments are transferred smoothly to the right person in case of an unforeseen event. You can review your full rights and responsibilities as a client in Aetram’s Rights and Obligations document.
Step 7: Link your bank account
Connect your bank account either by entering details manually or scanning a UPI QR code. Once linked, deposits and withdrawals from your trading account become instant and hassle-free.
Step 8: Choose your trading segments
Customize your account by selecting the segments you want to trade in: Equity, Futures & Options, Currencies, or Commodities. Based on your investing and trading experience, you can select the required segments. During this step, you can view the brokerage details of Aetram Trades and DP tariff structure.
Step 9: Complete KYC with selfie and e-signature
You can upload your signature or draw your signature as part of the KYC process. Upload a live photo of yours for in-person verification to complete the account opening process. This step is for confirming your identity securely and protects your account from misuse.
Step 10: Final step
After completing your KYC process, the estimated time for verification by the KYC team is about 72 hours. Upon successful verification of your KYC application, your login credentials will be shared with you through your registered email id.
Your account is ready
Once you receive the login credentials, you can login to add funds, explore charts and research tools, and place your first trade on the Aetram trading app.
