Applicant must be KYC compliant while investing with any SEBI registered Mutual Fund.

Sharekhan has tied up with CDSL's CVL for being a point of service (POS) for processing MF KYC application. Investors investing in Mutual Funds (MF) Online will have to comply with the MF KYC procedure as per latest regulatory guidelines. This is a one-time process.

Accordingly, investors will have to provide the following documents:
MF KYC Common Application Form - Individual / Non-Individual
Proof of Identity - Must be Self-attested when presented with original at CDSL Ventures POS / Sharekhan Branches.
Photograph
Proof of address - Must be Self-attested when presented with original at CDSL Ventures POS / Sharekhan Branches.

How to get the KYC Done:
The duly completed MF KYC application forms together with the photocopies of the above documents (must be Self-attested) have to be presented alongwith the originals for verification to the nearest Sharekhan Branch.

There will however be a second level of verification at CVL and if there is any rejection due to any deficiency in documentation, then only the investor will be advised. Otherwise, the acknowledgement given will be considered as valid.
Please note that PAN will be the only unique identity number for investors and no new number will be issued. The investors have to provide the self-attested documents only once to obtain the acknowledgement, a copy of which can then be attached with the applications for investing in Mutual Funds without providing the same documents again.
