We are upgrading our transaction portal and will be back soon.
To invest in the schemes of Mutual Fund (MF), an investor needs to be complaint with the KYC (Know Your Customer) norms as updated from time to time.
KYC is an acronym for "Know Your Customer" and is a term used for Customer Identification Process as a part of Account Opening process with any financial entity. KYC establishes an investor’s identity & address through relevant supporting documents such as prescribed photo id (e.g., PAN card) and address proof and In-Person Verification (IPV). KYC compliance is mandatory under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and Rules framed there under, read with the SEBI Master Circular on Anti Money Laundering (AML) Standards/ Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) /Obligations of Securities Market Intermediaries.
W.e.f January 2012, SEBI has set out revised KYC norms to make the process uniform across Securities Market and introduced a common KYC application form for all the SEBI registered intermediaries viz. Mutual Funds, Portfolio Managers, Depository Participants, Stock Brokers, Venture Capital Funds, Collective Investment Schemes etc.
The intermediary shall perform the initial KYC of its clients and upload the details on the system of the KRA (KYC Registration Agency). When the client approaches another intermediary, the intermediary can verify and download the client's details from the system of the KRA. As a result, once the client has done KYC with a SEBI registered intermediary, the client need not undergo the same process again with another intermediary.
Since November 2022 KRAs are required to perform extended independent verification, re-verification of KYC records on following additional aspects in a phase wise manner:
Accordingly, your KYC Status may have changed as below:
