There are 3 ways by which a user can activate F&O:

- Clicking on Consent and Activate
- User will have to enter Phone Number linked to ICICI Direct
- Select an active bank account which is 6 month older and linked to phone number entered
- Enter OTP and give consent
- On completing the journey below screen should appear. Post this, you can just place order from F&O place order page by visiting www.icicidirect.om.

II. User can also Buy Stock and create a demat holding to activate F&O. It takes T+1 days for stocks to get added to Demat. Post stocks being credited to Demat, you can visit F&O tab on ICICI Direct website and place order. Once your account is credited with the stocks for atleast T+1 day, F&O gets automatically activated for the account.

III. For F&O activation submission of any one document from the below list is sufficient:

1. Latest Salary Slip of not older than 3 months

2. Last six months bank statements

3. Latest copy of Demat Holding Statement

4. Latest Form 16

5. Latest Annual Account (Balance Sheet & profit & loss account)

6. Latest Net Worth Certificate

There are no hidden charges to activate F&O. You can immediately place an order after F&O activation.

I didnt choose F&O during account opening. What is the process to activate it later?

The consent for trading preference is required for F&O activation.

You can go to settings > Trading Preference > Turn on the "Futures & Options" toggle > After this follow the above activation process

If your request got rejected, it could be due to insufficient demat balance or your bank statement is of less than 6 months. To know the exact reason, you can contact our customer service team.
