When you need to move Cryptocurrency from your WazirX wallet to another exchange, you need to go through the process of Withdrawing cryptocurrency from your WazirX account.

The first step here is to get the Deposit address from the receiving exchange that you want to deposit the cryptocurrency to. The steps involved to get your Deposit address depend on the exchange you want to deposit to. Once you have your deposit address ready with you, follow the below steps in your WazirX account -

How much time will the Withdrawal take?

We try to process the withdrawals as soon as possible. Withdrawals are processed within 30-60 minutes. However, sometimes withdrawals could take up to 24 hours to process. Most withdrawals are processed in much lesser time than we estimate :)

For security reasons, we store most funds in a cold wallet. Sometimes, if the withdrawal requests are high and funds in the hot wallet are not enough to meet demand, we move funds from the cold wallet. This process usually takes longer but is a much safer and secure way.

Why do you charge a withdrawal fee?

When sending cryptocurrencies to the blockchain, a small fee must be paid along with the order so the mining network prioritizes your transaction and confirms it faster. If a low fee is paid, your transaction may remain unconfirmed indefinitely. For details about the withdrawal fees and how it is applied, check Trading, Deposit & Withdrawal Fees

What is the minimum & maximum withdrawal limit?

Please refer to this article - Trading, Deposit & Withdrawal Fees

Can I move cryptocurrency from one WazirX account to another WazirX account?

No. Moving cryptocurrency from one WazirX account to another WazirX account is not possible at the moment. When you try doing this, you will see a Rejected error.

Are Ether (ETH) withdrawals/deposits to Smart Contract Addresses / ICOs supported?

Yes. WazirX currently supports Ether (ETH) withdrawals to Smart Contract Addresses. However, please do not invest in ICOs using your WazirX wallet as we will not be able to support any tokens that you receive back from the ICO.
