How do I change the marital status on my Zerodha account?

Zerodha

While creating my demat mistakenly somehow selected my marital status as married instead of single (may be just single TAB key shifted/changed selection). How can I update it? Is it possible do it online? What is the procedure? @siva-reddy @ShubhS9

Just realized this mistake while attempting Segment Activation.
I think Zerodha should show such details in Profile or some other section (Personal Info Section etc) so that if someone made any such mistake, he/she would found out sooner.

@ShubhS9 What action should I take?

I’m not so sure :slightly_smiling_face: have tagged Lindo, he will address your concern.

Also just another quick question…
Does this Marital Status even matter or it is just technicality without consequences and one should not bother about?

The reason I am asking this is because I am curious whether Zerodha or any other broker needs to ask account holders to change their marital status from Single to Married when he/she gets married (even if no change of name is involved in the situation)? (My problem is reverse though)
Is it even absolutely required?

@ShubhS9 @siva-reddy @lindo Any update on my query?

This field is mandatory as per the KYC guidelines,however there is no significance of this and one need not bother about keeping this updated ideally.

If only there was a fintech version of Tinder, then this would become really important. :slight_smile:
