November 29, 2012by Basavaraj Tonagatti

In today’s post we will look at some service oriented issues which every common investor of Mutual Funds will face. These below methods are in generic, hence few Mutual Fund Companies may ask you for additional requirements. So let us look at one by one.

1) Change of Name-This case is normally applies to women who invested before marriage and after marriage want to include their husband’s name. To do changes, investor must submit a letter asking for change. Below are the few mandatory documents which you need to attach with application.

a) Name change certificate by authority

b) Official Gazette copy

c) Marriage Certificate copy

d) List of folios you hold

e) Signature of the account holder

f) Bank account details where the new name already showing

Change of name for non individuals include change in corporate names like Pvt Ltd company to Ltd company, partnership firm to Pvt Ltd company or due to merger or acquisition. In such cases these non individuals need to provide name change certificate from the Registrar of Companies and authorization to invest, approval from the board and the list of authorised signatories.

2) Change of Address-Now change of address is possible only when you change your address in KYC first. Hence to change your address, use the KYC update form and provide the new address. Mention your PAN number in the new address. You also need to provide new address proof document (Self Attested). Once this is done and application is correct then it get processed either with CVL or KRA as the case may be. Same change will be communicated to the R&T Agents of all AMCs. Update is made to all the folios of the investor from AMCs. In this updating process they track your name through the PAN number.

a) Bank Name, b) Branch Name, c) MICR Code, d) IFSC Code, e) Account Number, f) Name as per Bank Records, g) Type of Account and h) Cancelled bank cheque.

Now AMCs are asking for old bank cancelled cheque too. Dont how the closed account cheque can be retained and submitted to apply for new bank change 🙂

4) Change of Status from Minor to Major-Usually guardian operates the account of minor. But when minor attains the major status then it is mandatory to change the status from minor to major. No transactions are allowed until the changes are made from minor to major. To do such changes, below are the documents you need to submit.

a) Request letter to change the status

b) New Bank Mandate form where account changed from minor to major with proof

c) Signature attestation of major by your banker

d) KYC acknowledgement of major

e) PAN card of minor

5) Change of Guardian-This situation arises when their is mutual consensus between guardians or death of existing guardian. Below are documents you need to submit for this change.

a) Request letter for change

b) NOC from old guardian or court order for appointing new guardian
