Mutual Funds KYC Guidelines
What is KYC (Know your Customer)?
'Know Your Customer' (KYC), is a term commonly used for Customer Identification Process. SEBI has prescribed certain requirements relating to KYC norms for Financial Institutions and Financial Intermediaries including Mutual Funds to 'know' their clients. This would be in the form of verification of identity and address, financial status, occupation and such other demographic information.
With effect from January1, 2012, all categories of investors irrespective of amount of investments in Mutual Funds are required to comply with KYC for carrying out any transactions in Mutual Funds. Thus any investor (all applicants in a folio) investing into mutual funds would be required to be KYC compliant by any KYC Rating Agency (CVL, NSE, NSDL, CAMS or KARVY) without which the transactions may be liable to be rejected by the respective mutual fund houses.
Please note KYC norms are mandatory for ALL applicants/investors (including existing investors and joint holders) while investing with any SEBI registered Mutual Fund, irrespective of the amount of investment.
This one-time verification is valid for transactions across all mutual funds.
Note: The Ministry of Finance in consultation with Reserve Bank of India has made amendments to the Prevention of Money-Laundering Rules, 2005 under Notification G.S.R. 538(E), dated June 1, 2017. As per the new rules, customers eligible to be enrolled for Aadhaar shall submit the Aadhaar and PAN to the Bank for the purpose of Mutual Fund investments.

You can place a request even on a holiday. However, your request will be processed on the following working day and the respective NAV would be applicable as per the Mutual Fund Offer Document.
Are the units allotted as per the NAV on the screen?
NAVs are declared by the Mutual Fund House by the end of the day. Hence the NAV displayed on the screen (the previous day's NAV) will have a lag of one day or more. Thus, the displayed NAVs are indicative and for the purpose of guidance only. When you transact through Mutual Fund Online, you get the same day's NAV depending upon the cut-off time applicable i.e. if the transaction is before the cut-off time, the same day's NAV is allotted (for all working days)
Note:
Minimum Transaction Amount: As decided by the Fund House, there is a Minimum Transaction Amount indicated against each scheme which is available on Purchase Menu.
To view Transaction details: Invest Online > Mutual Funds > Reports > Transaction Report/Order Status Report > Generate report basis date

Dividend Payout: You will receive it through a direct credit from the AMC into your savings account within the TAT for MF units to reflect in the customer holdings. The unit holdings will get reflected within 2-4 business days from the date of purchase.
