Detailed Answer

What is a DP ID?

First let’s find out, what is a DP ID.

The DP ID is a unique number consisting of an 8 digit number that is unique to every participant. DP or Depository Participant can be any individual, company, stockbroker, or financial institution who acts as a middleman between the customer and the Depository/Stock Exchanges.

In this case “Zerodha Broking Limited” is the DP that maintains its client’s account with CDSL (Central Depository Service Limited). Every individual who opens an account with a Zerodha gets their unique BO (Beneficiary Owner Identification Number) which consists of 16 digits. The first 8 digit consists of the DP ID and the remaining 8 digits consist of a unique identification number of the client. This BO can be used for applying IPO’s using the ASBA (Application Supported By Blocked Amount), etc.

Now let’s see how to find your DP ID in Zerodha

To find out your Depository participant’s ID you can follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Zerodha account by entering your credentials (ID and Password).
  1. Once you log in to your account go to the top right corner of the screen where you will see your profile ID. Click on that, post which you will be redirected to your profile page.
  1. Once you land on the profile page, scroll down to the “Account” section. There under the Demat (BO) section you will find your BO which consists of the DP ID and your customer ID. The first 8 digits of that number are your DP ID.
  1. If you want to access the DP ID in an easier way then, go to your “Console”, by clicking on the profile button. From there click on “Account” once you open your Console.
  1. Under the Account section, Click on “DEMAT” from the left menu. Here you will find your Demat ID along with the DP ID and BO ID separately.

By following the above steps you can get your DP ID from Zerodha. The DP ID of Zerodha is 12081600, which is constant for all users. But if you are searching your Demat ID which is also the BO ID then you will have to find it out by following steps. The DP ID can be useful when applying for an IPO or transferring shares from or to a Different Demat account.
