Demat referral questions answered: a quick FAQ for partners
Answers to the questions new partners ask most about demat referrals: approvals, timelines, eligibility, family referrals, rejections and payouts.
New partners ask many of the same questions in their first weeks. Here are clear answers to the most common ones, in one place.
Do I need to invest any money to refer demat accounts?
No. Referral earning on Earn MUFAD has no joining fee. You help genuine customers open accounts through official links; you don't invest your own money. Learn more about zero investment earning.
When does a referral count?
It counts when the customer opens a new account through your link and meets the campaign's condition, such as account opening, funding or a first trade. Each campaign states its condition.
How long until a lead is approved?
It varies. Account activation can take a day or two, brokers report results in batches, and some campaigns wait for activity. A lead can take days or weeks to reach a final status.
Can I refer my family?
Yes, if they genuinely want an account and apply themselves. Self-referrals and fake applications are not allowed.
What if the customer already has an account with the broker?
The referral won't count, because campaigns pay for new customers. Read the "already have an account" guide.
Why was my lead rejected?
Common reasons include existing customer, incomplete application, condition not met, tracking not recorded or quality concerns. See why brokers reject leads.
Can I fill the form for the customer?
No. You can guide them, but they must enter their own details and OTPs on their own device.
Can I share my link on social media?
Yes, following platform rules and without misleading claims. Educational content works best.
How do I get paid?
Approved commissions are credited to your wallet according to campaign terms, and you can withdraw to your verified UPI ID as per the platform's withdrawal rules.
Are campaign amounts the same for everyone?
Campaign terms are shown in your dashboard for the campaigns available to you. Focus on genuine customers rather than comparing numbers.
Is referral income taxable?
Income from referral work is generally taxable under Indian law. Keep records and consult a tax professional. See our tax and money safety guides.
Can students or homemakers do this?
Yes, adults who complete KYC can become partners. Many students and homemakers earn flexibly. See guides for students and women and homemakers.
What are the biggest mistakes to avoid?
Spamming, promising profits, ignoring campaign rules and taking over customers' applications. Read 10 common mistakes.
Key points to remember
- No investment is needed to become a partner.
- Approval depends on the campaign condition, not just a submitted form.

- Referral income is generally taxable; keep records.

Can I work with more than one campaign?
Yes, if campaigns are available to you, you can refer different products to the people they genuinely suit. A customer who needs a demat account may not need a credit card, and vice versa. Match products to needs rather than offering everything to everyone.
What if a customer complains to me about the broker?
Listen, help them find the broker's official support or grievance channel, and avoid blaming or defending the broker without facts. Your role is to guide them to the right place.
How do I improve my approval rate?
Refer genuinely interested people, prepare them with the right documents, explain campaign conditions upfront, stay available during the application and follow up respectfully. These five habits make the biggest difference.
