What Is Dhan? A Quick Introduction
Dhan is one of India's fastest-growing modern stock trading and investment platforms, built by Raise Securities Private Limited (formerly Moneylicious Securities Private Limited), a SEBI-registered broker and CDSL Depository Participant. Dhan offers seamless investments in equities, derivatives, commodities, currencies, ETFs, bonds, and IPOs — all from a single account, with a flat brokerage of ₹20 for most trades and zero account opening charges.
What sets Dhan apart in a crowded fintech market is its multi-platform ecosystem. Unlike many brokers that offer a single app, Dhan gives users access to six interconnected products — the Dhan App, Dhan Web, Options Trader App, TradingView integration, Dhan API, and Dhan Smallcase — all accessible from a single login credential.
The Dhan login system is the gateway to all six platforms. Whether you're an intraday trader who needs lightning-fast execution on a desktop, or a long-term investor managing a mutual fund SIP on your phone during a commute, Dhan's login architecture is designed to deliver fast, secure, multi-device access without friction.

Before You Log In: Account Prerequisites
To access any Dhan platform, you must first have an active Dhan trading and demat account. Account opening takes less than 10 minutes and is fully digital — requiring Aadhaar-linked mobile number verification, PAN card, address proof, bank proof, and a photograph. The account is approved by exchanges after document verification.
Once your account is approved, Dhan sends your Client ID (which is typically your registered mobile number) and login credentials to your registered email. You will use your Client ID or registered mobile number as your username across all Dhan platforms.
Your user ID on Dhan: On Dhan, your user ID is your registered and verified mobile number. You do not create a separate username — your phone number serves as both your identity and your primary login credential across all Dhan platforms.
Dhan Mobile App Login — Step-by-Step
The Dhan mobile app is available on both Android (Google Play Store) and iOS (Apple App Store). The app supports login via OTP, MPIN, and biometrics (Face ID / Fingerprint ID). Here is the complete login process:
First-time login (new device)
1
Download and open the Dhan app from the Play Store or App Store. Tap "Login" on the home screen.
2
Enter your registered mobile number (Client ID). Tap "Continue".
3
A 6-digit OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number. Enter the OTP within the 60-second validity window.
4
On first login to a new device, you will be prompted to set a 6-digit MPIN — a device-specific PIN stored locally on your phone. This replaces OTP for future logins.
5
Optionally, enable Face ID or Fingerprint authentication in Security Settings for even faster subsequent logins. Tap "Enable Biometrics" when prompted.
6
You are now inside your Dhan dashboard. Your portfolio, watchlists, and market data are instantly accessible.
Returning user login (same device)
1
Open the Dhan app. Your registered mobile number is pre-filled. Tap "Continue".
2
Enter your 6-digit MPIN or authenticate via Face ID / Fingerprint — whichever you have enabled.
3
You are logged in instantly — typically within 2–3 seconds of authentication.
MPIN is device-specific: Your MPIN is stored locally on your device. If you uninstall and reinstall the Dhan app, you will need to log in using OTP again and set a new MPIN. Never share your MPIN with anyone.
Dhan Web Login — Accessing dhan.co on Browser
The Dhan web platform is accessed at dhan.co. It offers equities, derivatives, commodities, mutual funds, and IPOs, with advanced charting and portfolio tracking for a seamless desktop trading experience. Web login supports two methods: OTP-based login and QR code login via the mobile app.
OTP-based web login
1
Visit dhan.co or web.dhan.co in your browser. Click "Login" at the top right corner.
2
Enter your Client ID or registered mobile number. Click "Continue".
3
Enter your password. If you haven't set a password, click "Forgot Password" to create one via OTP.
4
An OTP is sent to your registered mobile number. Enter it to complete the two-factor authentication.
5
You are now inside Dhan Web — a full-featured browser-based trading platform with multi-window charting and analytics.
QR code login (fastest method)
Dhan Web supports Easy QR Login for fast and secure access without typing credentials on a keyboard. This is the recommended method for desktop trading:
1
Open web.dhan.co in your desktop browser. A QR code is displayed on the login page.
2
Open the Dhan mobile app on your phone. Navigate to your Profile section and tap "Login to Desktop".
3
Point your phone camera at the QR code on your computer screen and scan it.
4
Your account is instantly logged into Dhan Web on the desktop — no password or OTP needed on the browser.
Dhan's Multi-Platform Ecosystem — All Login Entry Points
One Dhan account gives you access to six distinct trading and investment platforms. Each has its own optimised interface but shares your single login credential.
| Feature | Dhan App | Dhan Web | Options Trader | TradingView |
|---|
| Best for | On-the-go trading | Desktop traders | F&O specialists | Chart analysts |
| Login method | OTP / MPIN / Biometric | Password + OTP / QR | Dhan credentials | Broker link |
| Biometric login | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✓ Yes | ✗ No |
| QR code login | ✗ N/A | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| Advanced charting | Standard | Advanced | Options-specific | Professional |
| Mutual Fund SIP | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| IPO application | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
Dhan Login Security Features
Security is a core design principle for Dhan's login system. The platform uses multiple layers of protection to ensure that only the account owner can access their trading and investment account.
OTP
OTP Authentication
Every new device login requires a One-Time Password sent to your registered mobile number. Valid for 60 seconds only.
PIN
6-Digit MPIN
A device-local 6-digit PIN replaces repeated OTP requests on trusted devices. Stored only on your phone — not on Dhan's servers.
Bio
Biometric Login
Face ID and Fingerprint authentication are fully supported on compatible iOS and Android devices for instant, password-free access.
2FA
Two-Factor Authentication
Web logins require both a password and an OTP — two independent verification factors before account access is granted.
QR
QR Code Login
Desktop login via QR scan from the mobile app eliminates keyboard credential entry, reducing phishing and keylogger risk.
DPT
Verified Device Registry
Dhan tracks registered devices. Any login from an unrecognised device triggers automatic OTP verification, alerting you to suspicious access.
Critical security reminder: Dhan will NEVER call you to ask for your OTP, MPIN, password, or account credentials. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately and report it to
[email protected]. Sharing your login credentials with anyone — including people claiming to be Dhan staff — is a severe security violation and can result in financial loss.
Forgot Password or MPIN? Recovery Guide
Locked out of your Dhan account? Both password and MPIN resets are straightforward and can be completed in under two minutes via OTP verification.
Resetting your Dhan password
1
On the web login page at dhan.co, click "Forgot Password" below the password field.
2
Enter your registered mobile number. An OTP will be sent immediately.
3
Enter the OTP and create a new strong password — minimum 8 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
4
Confirm the new password and save. Log in immediately with your new credentials.
Resetting your MPIN
1
On the Dhan mobile app login screen, tap "Forgot PIN".
2
Verify your identity via OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
3
Set a new 6-digit MPIN. Confirm it. Your new MPIN is active immediately on that device.
Alternatively, the MPIN can also be changed from the Security Settings section inside the Dhan app when you are already logged in — without triggering a full reset flow.
Common Dhan Login Issues and Fixes
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|
| OTP not received | Network delay, DND filter, outdated mobile number | Wait 60 seconds and retry. Check DND status. Ensure your mobile number is registered and active with Dhan. |
| MPIN not working | Entered incorrectly 3+ times, or app was reinstalled | Use "Forgot PIN" for a reset. After reinstalling the app, always use OTP login first to set a fresh MPIN. |
| QR code expired | QR codes refresh every 30–60 seconds | Refresh the web.dhan.co login page to generate a new QR code, then scan immediately. |
| Account temporarily locked | Multiple failed login attempts triggered security lock | Wait 30 minutes or contact Dhan support at [email protected] with your registered mobile number for unlock assistance. |
| Biometric not working | Phone biometric data changed, or app updated | Disable and re-enable biometrics in Dhan Security Settings. Re-register your fingerprint or face in the device settings first. |
| "Invalid credentials" error | Wrong mobile number or password entered | Use "Forgot Password" to reset. Confirm you're entering the mobile number registered with Dhan — not an alternate number. |
Dhan Back Office Login: Accessing Reports and Analytics
The Dhan Back Office is accessed at dhan.co. Log in using your registered mobile number and password, followed by OTP verification. This portal provides detailed portfolio analytics, tax documents including P&L and capital gains reports, transaction history, and holdings reports for comprehensive investment tracking and account management.
The Back Office is particularly useful at tax time — investors can download ledgers, capital gains statements, contract notes, and annual P&L reports directly. All these documents are generated in PDF and Excel format and can be submitted directly to your CA or used for ITR filing.
Back Office vs. Trading Platform: The Back Office portal at dhan.co is for reports and account management, not live trading. For live trading, use the Dhan mobile app, web.dhan.co, or tv.dhan.co. Both use the same login credentials but serve different purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dhan Login
Q Can I be logged into Dhan on multiple devices simultaneously?
Yes. Dhan allows concurrent logins on multiple devices — for example, the mobile app on your phone and Dhan Web on your laptop at the same time. Each device maintains its own session. Logging out on one device does not affect the other.
Q What happens if I lose my phone registered with Dhan?
Immediately contact Dhan support at
[email protected] or call their helpline. Request a temporary account freeze. Since MPIN is device-specific, a lost phone with MPIN cannot be used to access Dhan without also triggering OTP verification on your registered SIM. Get your SIM blocked and contact your telecom operator as a parallel step.
Q Is Dhan's QR login safe? Can someone intercept it?
Yes, QR login is safe. The QR code is session-specific and expires within 30–60 seconds. It uses a time-limited token that links the authenticated mobile app session to the desktop browser session. Even if someone photographed the QR code, they would need to scan it using an authenticated Dhan mobile app with your MPIN or biometrics — making interception practically impossible.
Q Can I use email ID instead of mobile number to log in?
On the web platform, you can log in using your registered email ID and password, followed by OTP. However, the OTP will still be sent to your registered mobile number. On the mobile app, the primary login identifier is your registered mobile number.
Q How do I log out of Dhan securely?
On the mobile app, go to Profile and tap "Logout". On Dhan Web, click your account avatar at the top right and select "Logout". For high-security situations — such as using a shared or public computer — always use the web logout option and clear the browser cookies and cache after logging out.
Q Does Dhan auto-logout after inactivity?
Yes. Dhan enforces automatic session expiry after a period of inactivity for security compliance. The app will prompt you to re-authenticate via MPIN or biometrics before allowing continued access. Web sessions also expire after extended inactivity and will redirect you to the login page.
