Your folio, sorted
The paperwork that comes after you invest, one job per page: nominees, claims, statements, forgotten folios, a child’s account and MF Central.
Most of what happens to a mutual fund after the first investment is paperwork: a nominee to add, a statement to find, a folio to claim. Each job below has its own page, written as steps, with the rule it rests on and its source.
Update your nominee
Add or change the nominee on each folio, online or on paper. A folio can now carry up to three nominees. Updating your nominee; background in why nomination matters.
Claim after a death
What a surviving joint holder, a nominee and legal heirs each need, as a checklist. After a death: claiming units, with a printable copy; the process itself in transmission.
Get your statement by PAN or folio
The Consolidated Account Statement gathers every folio held under your PAN, across fund houses; a statement for a single folio comes from its fund house or registrar. For tax filing there is the capital gains statement.
Find forgotten folios (MITRA)
Search for folios with no investor-started transaction in ten years. Finding forgotten folios with MITRA.
Use MF Central
One view of your folios across fund houses, and one request to change details on all of them. What MF Central does.
A child’s folio and minor to major
Guardian, documents, and the change of status at eighteen. Investing in a minor’s name.
Keep KYC, bank and folios tidy
Updating your KYC, changing your bank mandate and merging folios. If a request goes unanswered, the grievance route.
This is education, not advice
