Connecting to Sapphire
Aligning the stars
Open your account in minutes and start trading with the tools, insights, and support you need to make informed decisions.
Kota is India's best-known coaching hub, drawing students from across the country to prepare for engineering and medical entrance exams, and it lends its name to two famous products: Kota stone flooring and the fine Kota Doria weave. Education, trade and industry along the Chambal give the city its distinctive young, ambitious character.
Sapphire Broking opens your trading account. Your demat account is opened and maintained by our DP partner, SMC Global Securities Limited (NSDL).
1. Sign up online
Start at signup.sapphirebroking.com with your mobile number and email. No paperwork, no branch visit.
2. Verify PAN + Aadhaar
KYC runs digitally against your PAN and Aadhaar. Keep your Aadhaar-linked mobile handy for the OTP.
3. Link your bank
Add the bank account you will trade from - a cancelled cheque or statement is enough.
4. eSign and go live
eSign the application with an Aadhaar OTP. Your trading account opens with Sapphire and your demat account is opened by our DP partner SMC Global Securities Limited (NSDL) - most accounts are activated within 24 hours.
Sapphire is an online-first broker - account opening, trading and support all happen digitally, so there is no branch queue anywhere in Kota. Our registered office is in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
Fully online: sign up at signup.sapphirebroking.com, verify PAN and Aadhaar, link your bank, upload documents and complete the Aadhaar OTP eSign - about 15 minutes. The trading account is opened with Sapphire Broking (SEBI Reg. INZ000329823); the demat account is opened and maintained by our DP partner SMC Global Securities Limited (NSDL). Most accounts activate within 24 hours.
No - Sapphire does not have a branch in Kota. Everything from account opening to support runs online, with phone and email assistance from our registered office in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
Your PAN card, Aadhaar linked to your mobile (for OTP-based eSign), a cancelled cheque or bank statement, and a recent photograph. A bank account in your own name is required - a parent's account cannot be linked to your demat.
Opening the account is free. Every segment, including equity delivery, is charged the lower of a flat ₹20 or 0.05% per executed order, with a ₹2.5 minimum. Direct mutual funds carry no commission. New accounts also get zero brokerage on all trades for the first 7 days after onboarding. Statutory charges (STT, GST, exchange fees, SEBI fee, stamp duty) apply separately - see sapphirebroking.com/pricing.
If you are 18 or older and hold a PAN card, yes - income is not a requirement. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian can open a minor account operated on your behalf until you turn 18. Keep your focus where it belongs, though: investing involves market risk, and studies come first.
