Get know-your-customer (KYC) done to invest in Mutual Fund in future

If you're looking to invest or are already invested in a mutual fund, you have to complete a simple verification process before the calendar changes. Mutual funds will not accept new payments unless an investor has obtained a know-your-customer (KYC) acknowledgement. All fresh investments, including switches and existing SIPs that go via auto debit, will be stopped. Earlier, KYC compliance was required only for investments over 50,000. From 1 January 2011, even a 100 investment needs a KYC. It actually saves you the pain of submitting documents with a different fund house each time. The documents are to be submitted only once to be maintained by CDSL Ventures. You can download the forms (amfiindia.com, amfiindia.com / poskyc.aspx or cvlindia.com) or take physical forms from MF houses, service centres or distributors. Fill in your name, PAN card details, address in the form and attach your ID and address proofs along with photographs. Carry originals and copies of documents signed by you. The originals will be returned over the counter. The form along with these documents can be submitted in centres including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Agra, Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Visakhapatnam

for addresses of these centres. Once submitted, these documents will be stored in your name, and an acknowledgement number or a slip over the counter will be given. The acknowledgement letter will be given within 15 days at the same office.


   If you have investments in any MF, the KYC acknowledgement will have to be notified to the fund house. If you want to withdraw MF investments made years ago, you will have to complete this procedure to receive your money. So, even if you'd invested in the past, notify the fund house of the completion of the verification procedure. Include your folio number when sending the acknowledgement letter to the fund house.

How to generate a UAN Online

Best SIP Funds Online   In order to make Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts portable, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had launched the facility of Universal Account Number (UAN ) in 2014. Having a UAN is now mandatory if you have an EPF account and are contributing to it. So far, you got this number from your employer and every time you changed jobs, you had to furnish this number to the new employer.  However, in order to make it easier for you to get a UAN , and without your employer's intervention, the EPFO now allows you to go online and generate a UAN on your own. This facility can be used by freshers, or new employees, who are joining the workforce as well as by employees who have older EPF accounts but do not have a UAN as yet. As a new employee, you can simply generate a UAN and provide the number to your employer at the time of joining, when you need to fill up forms for your EPF contribution. As per a circula...

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Debt Option

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Invest Online     The scheme aims to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk. It will invest atleast 65 per cent of its assets in debt instruments with maturity of more than 1 year and the rest in money market instruments (including cash or call money and reverse repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year. The exposure in government securities will generally not exceed 50 percent of the assets. The fund uses a mix of relatively low portfolio duration with active investments in higher-yielding corporate bonds. It does not take aggressive duration calls but tries to improve returns by cherry-picking corporate bonds. This is reflected in the fund's returns matching the category and benchmark for five years - at 8.4 per cent - but lagging behind the category during a raging bull market in bonds in the last one year. The fund has been a consistent but not chart-topping performer in the income category. Despite its ...
