1. Go to the website of the Mutual Fund or Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) where you have invested
2. Click on the “KYC Status” link
3. Enter your 10-digit PAN number
4. Your KYC status will be shown as one of the following :
- KYC Validated
- KYC Registered
- KYC On-hold
What each status means:
- KYC Validated means you can do any transaction in any Mutual Fund at any time and you don’t need to do anything more. Just continue with your investments!
- KYC Registered means you can still transact in your existing Mutual Funds. However, if you want to invest in a new Mutual Fund, you will have to do your KYC again. But don’t worry, the process is easy. So just take out a few minutes and complete your KYC process!
- KCY On-hold/Rejected probably means that something like your mobile or email is not validated, or your PAN is not linked with your Aadhaar. Just follow the steps on the Mutual Fund website to fix it. Once done, you can continue with your Mutual Fund investments again!
Remember you can sort out any KYC issue from the comfort of your home and if you need help, reach out to AMCs or KRAs’ office/helpline numbers (available on their websites)
