Aadhaar based eKYC

 
Now that SEBI has allowed Aadhaar based e-KYC service for MF investors, CAMS is facilitating it on its website and on AMC websites serviced by it. Investors with Aadhaar number and PAN can complete KYC process using Aadhaar based eKYC and open a folio without having to submit forms and doing in-person verification (IPV), claims CAMS.
 
After the KYC process is completed, investors can open a folio and start transacting in direct and regular plans. CAMS also allows investors to do transactions by keying in distributors ARN code, sub broker code and EUIN.
 
According to SEBI rules, investors can invest up to Rs 50,000 per financial year per mutual fund using one time password (OTP) based eKYC. However, investors who wish to invest more than this limit need to undergo IPV or biometric based authentication at CAMS point of service.
 
A number of fund houses have also launched eKYC service for investors. Reliance, Quantum, Birla Sun Life have introduced eKYC service which aims to expedite the process of client verification and reduce paperwork for distributors.
 
All investors need to do is fill up the online KYC form by keying in details like name, mobile number, email id, address, PAN details etc. and upload the supporting documents like PAN, bank details and address proof. The fund house will verify the information and schedule an online meeting with a client based on his/her convenience to carry out electronic In-Person Verification (e-IPV). Once the e-IPV is done, the fund house will send the application to KYC Registration Agency (KRA) to process the documents.
 
Typically, KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs) take 8 to 10 days to verify a KYC application. By going electronic, fund officials say that KYC can now be done on a real time basis. Banks and insurance companies are already using Aadhaar linked e-KYC service to carry out their KYC verification procedure. However, many banks and insurance companies insist on submitting physical documents even after carrying out e-KYC.

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Banks tweak ATM strategies

Unrestricted usage of third-party ATMs ends on Thursday The era of free ATM usage will come to an end on Thursday, October 15. Every transaction carried out on another bank’s ATM could cost an account holder as much as Rs 20 and withdrawals will face a limit of Rs 10,000, the Indian Bank’s Association has said in its guidelines. According to the guidelines, banks can offer savings-account holders five free thirdparty withdrawals every month —they can be charged from the sixth transaction onwards. Current account holders can be charged the fees, which ranges from Rs 18 to Rs 20, from the very first transaction. Most banks are convinced that charging current account and no-frill account customers from the word go is a good idea. It suggests that the usage of ATMs by current-account holders is price-insensitive. For others, banks have decided to frame their charges depending on the profile of the customer. For instance, HDFC Bank is allowing its salary account and premium customers an unl...

Women need to plan for Retirement

Plan for Retirement Online       Higher life expectancy, lower pay and fewer work years necessitate thorough planning.   Women have raced ahead of men in various fields but, when it comes to retirement planning, they tend to lag behind. Despite saving a higher proportion of their salary, compared to men, women generally do not take retirement planning seriously. Below are some of the reasons why they should: According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in India, the life expectancy of women is 69 years and, of men, it's 66 years. Due to this, a woman will need an additional `55 lakh to manage her living expenses (see table).Besides, usually, women work fewer years compared to men to take care of children and family.Further, a recent study by Korn Ferry Hay Group shows that women in India earn 18.8% less than men.
