How to link your Mutual Funds with Adhaar card

All mutual fund investments must be linked to Aadhaar card by March 31, 2018.  Failing which, you may not be able to transact in your fund folios.  To avoid such a situation ensure that you link Aadhaar with your mutual fund investments.

You need not have to approach all mutual funds to update your Aadhaar number. The process is much simple if you approach the registrar and transfer agents (RTA) – record keepers for the mutual funds. The RTAs in turn update your details with all the mutual fund they service.

There are four RTAs and here is how to update your Aadhaar details:

• CAMS caters to 15 mutual funds. You can click here to update your Aadhaar number in the records of mutual funds serviced by CAMS. Keep your PAN, Aadhaar and other details such as date of birth, mobile numbers (registered with Aadhaar and MF) ready.

• Karvy caters to 19 mutual funds. Karvy allows you to update your Aadhaar details in the records of mutual funds serviced by it by clicking here.

• If you have invested in schemes of Sundaram Mutual Fund or BNP Paribas Mutual Fund, you can upload your Aadhaar details here.

If for any reason you fail to upload your Aadhaar online, you can do so offline. You can download the form from the websites of RTA and submit it to the office of RTA or to the mutual funds office spread across India.
