In our work, we study the texture zeros of [Formula: see text] in the minimal extended type-I seesaw (MES) with incorporating one extra gauge singlet field “[Formula: see text]”. The MES models deal with the Dirac neutrino mass matrix [Formula: see text], the right-handed Majorana mass matrix [Formula: see text] and the sterile neutrino mass matrix [Formula: see text]. We carry out the mapping of all possible zero textures of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for phenomenologically predictive cases having total eight zeros of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] studied in the literature. With this motivation, we consider (a) [Formula: see text] scheme, (b) [Formula: see text] scheme and (c) [Formula: see text] scheme, where the digits of a pair represent the number of zeros of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively along with the one zero and two zero textures of [Formula: see text]. There are a large number of possibilities of zeros of fermion mass matrices but the implementation of [Formula: see text] transformations reduces it to a very minimum number of basic structures. Interestingly out of four allowed one zero textures of [Formula: see text] without sterile neutrino, only three cases ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) are allowed in MES mechanism for the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] schemes. We find some correlations for different combination of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on enforcement of zeros. We examined all the correlations under the recent neutrino oscillation data and find that only [Formula: see text] survives while both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are ruled out. Interestingly the one zero textures inherently represent the inverted hierarchy of the mass ordering of light neutrinos. No two zero textures of [Formula: see text] survive in MES although there are a number of allowed structures phenomenologically. The allowed texture zeros are finally realized using a discrete Abelian flavor symmetry group [Formula: see text] with the extension of standard model to include some scalar fields.
