Now, you need to link your Aadhaar Card to your Mutual fund investments.
Surely, there are multiple ways of doing this. You can submit physical forms along with your Aadhaar proof at Registrar & Transfer Agent offices (CAMS, Karvy etc). You can also submit forms at AMC offices or websites.
The good part about updating linking Aadhaar on RTA websites is that you can update for all the AMCs serviced by those RTAs at the same time. For instance, CAMS provides service to 15 AMCs. By updating Aadhaar on CAMS website, your information should get updated with all the 15 AMCs (serviced by CAMS). No need to update with each AMC.
Similarly, Karvy provides service to 16 AMCs. Franklin Templeton and Sundaram have own RTAs.
In this post, I will look at how you can link your Aadhaar Card to mutual fund investments online.
