Clarification on Static IP Deadline for Algo/API Trading (October 1, 2025)

General

Hello Upstox Team / Community,

I wanted to confirm the exact compliance requirements regarding the SEBI & NSE static IP mandate for retail algo/API trading.

From the latest circulars, I understand that:

  • The deadline for mandatory static IP usage has been extended to October 1, 2025 (from the earlier August 1, 2025).

  • After this date, all API-based order placements (create/modify/cancel) from non-registered or dynamic IP addresses will be rejected.

  • API keys not linked to a static IP will expire on October 1, 2025.

  • Only registered static IPs (primary + backup) will be allowed.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Could you please confirm:

  1. Is October 1, 2025 the final deadline, or is there any chance of further extension?

  2. Will this apply strictly to order placement APIs only, or also to read-only APIs (like positions, holdings, market data)?

  3. What is the exact process for registering static IPs with Upstox, and can existing apps/API keys be updated?

  4. Can one static IP be shared across multiple accounts (family/partners), or does each account need a unique registered IP?

This clarity will help all algo/API users plan their infra (ISP static IP vs cloud server) well in advance.

any updates ??

  1. Yes, October 1, 2025 is the current deadline and has not been changed/extended by the regulatory bodies yet.

  2. Yes, only Order APIs require the request to be originated from the Static IP Registered.

  3. You can register the Static IP at the APPs page for Upstox (Upstox API) . Existing Apps can be edited and you can enter the Primary IP in the given field. Note: This can be updated only once in a week.

  4. IP Can be shared with 5 members in the immediate family as far as I know. But the process to have a shared IP is something I don’t know, as the platform won’t let an already registered IP to be registered by other users on the Apps page.

I Have already allocated and registered a Static IP for my application and ready to switch to it. The clarity on algorithm registration process and the feature is still pending on the brokers side as far as the last updates from Upstox team and even other brokers are yet to implement this Static IP Registration Feature. So, there is a chance it might get pushed. But its better to not take any chances.
