KYC CORNER
KYC Changes from Apr 01 2024
As per the latest regulations effective 01 April 24 an Existing Customer with a Mutual fund would be able to transact freely with a “KYC Registered” status. For a new customer to a Mutual fund either Re-KYC with one of the officially valid document or Aadhar based KYC as a one-time activity needs to be done. Also note, if Re-KYC with any other officially valid documents apart from Aadhar will result in the customer re-doing it every time he invests with a new Mutual fund.
Hence, it is recommended that you do KYC using Aadhar as a one-time activity so that you can transact freely in the mutual fund of your choice as Aadhar is the Universally accepted officially valid document.
