Have You Checked Your KYC Status?

Over the past month, several mutual fund investors would have received a mail from their fund house to update their Know-Your-Customer (KYC) details. In September, the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) directed AMCs to adhere to the following requirements for individual investors from 1 November 2015:

1. Make it mandatory for all new investors to provide additional KYC details such as income details, occupation, net worth, political association, etc.

2. Not accept purchase and switch transactions for investors whose status is "KYC-On Hold", unless the investor submits the missing information or updates KYC.

3. Ensure that new investors submit Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) or Common Reporting Standard (CRS) declaration while opening an account.

By 31 December 2015, fund houses are advised to make it mandatory for existing investors to provide the missing details above and complete IPV (In-Person Verification). Failing these parameters, all purchase and switch transactions of the investor will be rejected. Will you be affected?
