How to get KYC done?

KYC is a one-time activity that is a must to transact in a mutual fund. Here is the KYC registration process

26-Aug-2015 •Research Desk

I am planning to invest ₹2,000 through a monthly SIP in Axis Long Term Equity Fund. I am a first time investor and I have been researching on ELSS funds for the past few weeks. During my research I came to know that an investor should submit KYC documents to begin investments in mutual funds. Please help me with the following questions:

  1. What is process of completing KYC documentations?
  2. Will Axis Bank or the bank through which I am going to pay my monthly SIP amount will help me in this ?
  3. Is there any kind of fee for this KYC procedure?
    4.

KYC norms are mandatory for all investors (including existing investors and joint holders) while investing with any SEBI-registered mutual fund. It is an one-time activity and you can invest and transact in any AMC once you are KYC complied.

KYC Registration Process

  • Download KYC form from any of the AMC's website or from transfer agent's website or, visit 'Downloads' section of http://www.cvlindia.com/. Take a print out of the KYC application form for individual (for fresh KYC).
  • Fill the form as instructed. You need to provide self-attested copies of the following documents and carry originals for in-person verification.
    • Proof of identity
    • Proof of Address
    • PAN Card
    • Photograph
  • Submit the duly filled and attested form to either
    • AMC with which you wish to invest
    • Registered Transfer Agent such as CAMS, Karvy, Franklin Templeton or Sundaram BNP Paribas Fund Services. Check websites of respective company for the address.

    There are no fees for KYC registration.
