Convenience: No travel needed. Verification happens at your doorstep. Inclusion: More people can now enter the mutual fund space.

Efficiency: The process is quicker and avoids the usual delays of offline KYC. How to use the service: Download the KYC form from a KRA or AMC website. Fill in details—name, address, PAN, and contact info.
