1. What are the KYC Changes from April 1, 2024?

As per the SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/MIRSD/FATF/P/CIR/2023/0144 dated Aug 11, 2023, as a part of risk management framework, the KRAs (KYC Registration Agencies) shall verify the following attributes of records of all clients within 2 days of receipt of KYC records:


  • PAN (including PAN Aadhaar linkage), Name, Address, mobile number, and/or email address, mentioned in the KYC application form
  • In addition to above verification, wherever KRA can also verify the POA/POI document with official databases (such as Income Tax Department database on PAN, Aadhaar XML/Digilocker/ M-Aadhaar), the KYC status shall be “Validated”, and such investors can seamlessly transact across all mutual funds.
  • Wherever the KRA cannot verify the POA/POI document with official databases but can verify the email id and/ or mobile number, PAN Aadhar linkage as applicable, the KYC status shall be “Registered” Such investors can continue to transact in their existing mutual funds but will be subject to Re-KYC for investment in any new mutual fund.
