Please note that while paying, you can apply various promo code options given by the company and avail exciting discounts on plans.

In this step, Stoxkart will provide a form in which you have to fill up details like your current occupation, educational background, annual income, marital status, etc.
After completing this form you would get congratulations pop up for being KRA verified.

Step 7: The Sign-in Process
From here on, you will be given 2 options- sign in with E-Aadhar and offline sign in. You can choose to continue online or offline according to your convenience. Let us look at both scenarios:
Scenario 1: E-sign with Aadhar
If you opt for the online sign-in, you must have your Aadhar card linked with your mobile number. At this step, you will be required to put in your unique 12 digit Aadhar number. It will send an OTP to the mobile number linked with the given Aadhar card number.
Enter the received OTP in the given box and click submit. In online account opening with e-sign you can simply upload your documents and complete the verfication online. This officially completes the E-sign in process with stoxkart.
Scenario 2: Offline Sign Up
In case you do not have an Aadhar card linked with your mobile number, you may opt for this method. For the offline account opening process, IPV (in-person verification) is required.
For this, you need to print the documents, along with the offline form available. Fill them in the required details and courier to the Stoxkart head office.
The documents required in this scenario are:
1.PAN card
2.Aadhar card
3.Signature on a blank page with black/blue ink
4.Bank account details such as IFSC code, bank account number, and MICR code)
5.Any form of income proof (bank statement, recent income slip, etc.)
