Not able to add new Zerodha (ZBL) entity account as beneficiary

Yesterday received email saying “If you are transferring funds for trading to 05230340001348 via NEFT/RTGS/IMPS, please change this to ZERNSE effective immediately. Unlike usual bank account numbers, our new bank account number just has alphabets (ZERNSE)”.

I am not able to add ‘ZERNSE’ as Benefical account number in my HDFC account. I am getting error message that ’ Account number should be numeric’.

Can anyone tell me new Zerodha Brokerage Ltd’s numerical account number.

Zerodha’s new APHABETIC based A/Ç is with HDFC as well. The backend programmers at HDFC will come across this bug on monday when similar calls flood in, they will roll out a fix soon.

This is what I dont understand about this new bank account details change, if something is working just fine, why make all this changes to create confusion among users.

Check this, explained here
