Now get mutual fund KYC done at your home – India Post brings special service

Now you do not need to go to the bank or center to invest in mutual funds. India Post has launched a new facility in collaboration with Nippon India Mutual Fund, in which KYC (Know Your Customer) verification will be done at your doorstep.

This is a big relief especially for those who are elderly, live in villages or whose mobility is limited.

What did the government say?

India Post has a reach to every corner of the country—even to places without banks. According to the Ministry of Communications, this partnership can prove very beneficial for mutual fund companies.

Anyway, India Post has good experience of working on a large scale. Earlier it has done more than 5 lakh KYC verifications for UTI and SUUTI – and that too in a short time.

What is KYC after all?

KYC stands for Know Your Customer, which means confirming the customer’s identity. In this process, documents like your photo, address proof, and PAN card are taken.

After the Money Laundering Prevention Act was enacted in 2002, SEBI made a rule that every person must have KYC before investing in mutual funds. Until your KYC is complete, you cannot invest money in mutual funds.

How will KYC be done at home?

In this service, an India Post employee will come directly to your home and complete the KYC process by checking the necessary documents. This will save you from having to stand in line, and it will be very easy for the elderly or people living far away.

This initiative is part of the ‘Jan Nivesh’ campaign, which aims to connect common people with investment means.

Those who live in villages where financial services are not easily available

Those who are elderly or have mobility issues

And those who want to take a step into the world of investment but find the process complicated

Now you too can step into the world of investment without any hassle and make better financial plans for your future.
