Solution

Yes, the potential of the charged body can be zero.
An Electric Potential is the amount of work that has to be done to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
If the object is grounded then, the Potential of the object can be zero.
Therefore, the Potential of a charged body can be zero.
