How to complete KYC or E-KYC for Mutual Funds ONLINE?

 

One of the biggest hurdles for online savvy Mutual Fund investors is the completion of KYC process. Because as of now there is no such process which we can say ONLINE KYC or E-KYC. Recently Quantum Mutual Fund started processing KYC ONLINE also called as E-KYC. By using this facility, you can complete the KYC or E-KYC for Mutual Funds ONLINE itself.

So what is E-KYC?

E-KYC is nothing but Electronic KYC, which totally reduces the typical process of paperwork. It is purely an online process. E-KYC is a simplified KYC for investments based on PAN and Bank Account no. details.

The Quantum Mutual Fund is the first Mutual Fund Company, which started KYC or E-KYC for Mutual Funds ONLINE.

What are the documents required for Online KYC or E-KYC?

# For Resident Individuals

  • Self-attested PAN Card Copy.
  • Self-attested Proof of Address (Latest Bank Statement/Pass Book not more than 3 months old).

# For Non Resident Individuals

  • Self-attested PAN Card Copy.
  • Self-attested Proof of Address (Latest Bank Statement/Pass Book not more than 3 months old).
  • Self-attested Passport Copy.
  • Self-attested Overseas Address Proof and attested by Authorized Attesting Officials.

What is the process KYC or E-KYC for Mutual Funds ONLINE?

What is the E – IPV?

E-IPV is electronic In-Person Verification as mandated for KYC compliance. As I mentioned in the above image, during the E-IPV process, they verify your presence, original documents, applicant's verbal confirmation about the information he provided and the signature of the applicant.

Advantages of E-KYC or physical KYC

 

  • It is purely an online process. Hence, no physical paperwork. This is a boon to those who stay abroad on in remote areas, but ready to invest in mutual funds through DIRECT.
  • As the whole process is paperless, it involves low cost or you may say zero cost process.
  • Reduces the time for processing your KYC.
  • You no need to send any physical signed copies, under this process.
  • The only hurdle is your presence during the E – IPV process.

Once the whole process completed, then you will receive a letter/email confirming the same. You can also visit the websites of any KRA and verify the status online.

Few doubts still need to be clarified are as below-

  • Whether investing Quantum Mutual Fund is mandatory to go through this E-KYC process?
  • Whether one can complete E-KYC with Quantum and invest with other Mutual Fund companies?

Let us see how the details unfold. But to me Quantum Mutual Fund took a big leap in establishing E-KYC process, especially to Mutual Fund Direct Investors.

Surrender ULPPs

  ICICI Pru LifeTime and ICICI Pru Lifestage are Unit Linked Pension Plans. Such insurance linked retirement plans are neither good investments nor do they offer sufficient insurance cover. As you can see, these have turned out to be bad deals. In the Lifetime plan, the fund value is not even equal to the total premiums that you have paid and in the Lifestage plan your return is just about 6% which is quite low. The mortality charges are as per your age which is why they have increased. Moreover, once these plans matures, you will have to compulsorily opt for annuity (regular income) and the annuity rates are generally modest. Assuming these plans mature in the next one year, it will be wise to surrender the plan now and curb your future commitments.   Before you choose to buy a term plan, you have to consider a few points. You need to insure yourself, only during the time you are working and your family is financially dependent on you. At the age of 59, not all insurance companies w...

SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE

Invest SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE   SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP fund didn't fare well in its initial years but, in recent years, has steadily improved its performance under the capable hands of its current fund manager. Although investing predominantly in mid-cap stocks, the average market capitalisation of its portfolio is lower than other category peers.   Although the stock selection approach is mostly bottom-up , the fund manager doesn't shy away from taking bold sector bets , as is reflected in its large exposure to the healthcare sector. She is equally adept at handling performance across market cycles--the fund has captured more of the upside during market upticks and contained the downside during downturns in a better manner than its peers.   Given its superior risk-reward equation, the fund is a worthy pick in its category.     ----------------------------------------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.

Group Health Insurance

Buy Group Health Insurance Online   For Human Resources, the biggest challenge today is to decide whether medical benefits should be offered to employees or not, what type of plans should be offered, what will be the cost and how will the cost be split between employees and employer. Well, most of these are subjective and would depend on a lot of factors including company size, average employee salary, etc. However, this article will give you a fair idea on how you should go about deciding these factors: 1. Why offer group health insurance benefit to employees : Studies have proved that retention rates among employers offering GHI are much higher than the ones who are not offering.
