How to open upstox demat account online if mobile number not linked with aadhaar

Most of the brokers now have online account opening. They use esign with adhar method to sign account opening documents. We have written a post about upstox online account opening process before.

But some of you may not have linked your adhar with mobile number or changed your mobile number and lost old one. For them only option till now was downloading the account opening form and sending hard copy through courier after signing it. For them upstox have brought an alternative method called E-mudhra to esign your documents with pan card amd mobile number and complete account opening online itself.

Following people can utilise this new e mudhra method to e-sign.

• Whose mobile number and Aadhaar are not linked
• Who have not received an OTP on their mobile number
• The mobile number linked to their Aadhaar is not in service anymore or a different mobile number is linked to their Aadhaar.

During the account opening process, if you face any of the issue mentioned above while eSigning with Aadhaar, you can now eSign via eMudhra. This is an alternative to eSign via Aadhaar.

What is eMudhra?

Those who opened upstox account before will know that, we were using digio's adhar based esign service. eMudhra is a new PAN-based eSign service provider. It basically lets you digitally sign any form based on your PAN and mobile number.

The esigning process is slightly different if you have an account with another broker and if not. Those who do not have a demat account with another broker have some additional steps.
