One of the prerequisites of investing in mutual funds includes complying with the know your
customer (KYC) norms. Whenever there is a change in any of the KYC details—address,
name and status—which have already been furnished with the KRA, these changes need to
be carried out in order to ensure that the details are updated in the KYC records.
Form
A KYC change form is required to be filled to record changes in these details. This form is
available with the fund house or KRA, or can be downloaded from their websites.
Details
PAN details, name of the person (whose KYC records are to be updated), and date of birth
of the person are required to be filled, irrespective of any change to be made. The form
must always accompany a selfattested copy of the PAN card.
Change in identity
The new name, status (resident/NRI), new PAN, marital status or nationality need to be mentioned in the form and supporting documents
for the same need to be submitted. The supporting documents must be the ones mentioned in the form.
Change in address
This includes new correspondence address, new permanent address, or change in contact details. If utility bills are being submitted as
proof, these should not be more than three months old.
Verification/submission
The form and documents have to be verified by authorised officials of the AMC, R&T agent, KYD compliant mutual fund distributor or
gazetted officer. The copies of all documents should be self attested and accompanied with originals for verification. A copy of the form is
stamped and acknowledged by the KRA.
