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.

Liquidity Adjustment Facility

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a money market tool used by the central bank of a country (in India it is the Reserve Bank of India ), to infuse funds into the country's banking system when liquidity dries up. Again, in case there is excess liquidity, the central bank uses some tools to help banks manage their surplus liquidity. Usually the RBI uses the repurchase facility (called Repo ) to give short-term loans to banks to meet their temporary liquidity shortage. On the other, hand RBI uses reverse repo facility to help banks park their excess liquidity with it. Banks usually use various securities, which are approved by the RBI, as collateral when they take money from the RBI to meet their short term liquidity requirement     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free.

Investing in Indian mutual funds by NRIs from US and Canada As of December 2016, eight Indian fund houses were accepting investments from US/Canada-based NRIs Most of the Indian mutual fund houses have stopped accepting funds from US and Canada based NRIs due to regulatory restrictions.
