Why is KYC required to invest in Mutual Funds and How is it done?

Modified on Wed, 13 Nov at 7:13 PM

KYC (Know Your Customer) is required for investing in mutual funds to establish an investor's identity and address, and to prevent money laundering and other criminal activities:


Purpose

KYC is required by the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, of 2002, and is a part of the broader anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing regulations.



Process

To complete KYC, you need to submit supporting documents such as a PAN card, address proof, and in-person verification (IPV). You can complete KYC online or offline.
