Know Your Customer (KYC)

Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process used for identification of a customer whenever he/she opens an account with a financial entity. It establishes an investor's identity & address through relevant supporting documents such as a photo ID and address proof.

Yes, KYC is mandatory for investing in mutual funds under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and rules framed under them, and in compliance with the SEBI Master Circular on Anti Money Laundering (AML) Standards/ Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) /Obligations of Securities Market Intermediaries.

At present, as an investor who invests with different intermediaries in the security market, you need to undergo separate KYC processes with each of them. To create uniform procedures for all SEBI Registered intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, brokers and depository participants, and to avoid duplication of KYC, SEBI has introduced uniform KYC guidelines for the securities market effective January 1, 2012.

You need to download the enhanced application form (New KYC Application) from our website www.sundarammutual.com or from www.amfiindia.com or from the website of any other SEBI registered KYC Registration Agencies (KRA), for example, www.cvlkra.com.

You need to fill up the new application form and submit at the offices of any SEBI registered Intermediaries, including Mutual Funds.

Upon submission of documents, and completion of In-Person Verification (IPV) you would receive a temporary acknowledgement from the place you submit the New KYC Application.

The documents are then sent to the KRA either by the Mutual Fund or the Registrar & Transfer Agent (RTA). Within 10 working days after receipt of the same, the KRA will, after verification of the documents, send a letter to you confirming KYC compliance status/ the"final acknowledgement" or intimating any deficiency observed in the documents submitted.

The new KYC procedure is applicable for new investors only.
If you are an existing investor in a Mutual Fund and were already KYC compliant before January 1, 2012, you have to submit the additional KYC form duly filled. In case of a new investor to any AMC, you would be required to furnish CKYC form.

Yes. You can first complete the KYC procedure without any transaction.

Yes, the IPV done by one SEBI registered intermediary holds valid for another SEBI-registered intermediary.

You can submit the KYC applications in any of the branches of Sundaram Asset Management Company Limited. For a list of branches, please visit our website www.sundarammutual.com

No. As the KRA requires a completed form including the photograph and signature, email-based submission is not allowed.

Yes. Micro SIP application will be accepted along with the required Proof of Identity and Proof of Address as defined in the KYC application form.

Notary Public, Gazetted Officer/ Manager of a Scheduled Commercial/ Co-operative bank or Multinational Foreign Banks are authorized to attest the KYC documents. Name, Designation & seal should be affixed on the copy.

In case of NRIs, authorized officials of overseas branches of Scheduled Commercial Banks registered in India, Notary Public, Court Magistrate, Judge, Indian Embassy/ Consulate General in the country where the client resides are permitted to attest the documents. Name, Designation & seal should be affixed on the copy.

No. You would need to make use of the new KYC Application form available at www.sundarammutual.com website of AMFI or of any SEBI registered KRA.

  1. In-Person-Verification or IPV: It is mandatory for all SEBI-registered intermediaries to conduct IPV of their clients. For Mutual Fund investors, the IPV can be done by either the AMC or the Registrar & Transfer Agents (RTA) or by AMFI/NISM certified Mutual Fund distributors who are KYD compliant, or by Scheduled Commercial Banks in case of direct application for subscription to Mutual Fund units. In addition to existing KYC verification procedures, once the IPV process is also completed, the investor may then be considered KYC compliant under the revised KYC norms, and hence permitted to invest in Mutual Funds (MFs).
  2. KYC application form:In view of these enhancements, there are a few changes to the KYC application form. The revised application form is available on our website www.sundarammutual.com and is also accessible at www.amfiindia.com

Pursuant to SEBI circular no. MIRSD/Cir-5/2012 dated April 13, 2012, mutual fund investors who were KYC compliant on or before December 31, 2011 are required to submit 'missing/not available' KYC information and complete the 'In Person Verification' (IPV) requirements if they wish to invest in a new mutual fund, where they have not invested/ opened a folio earlier, effective from December 03, 2012. Individual investors have to complete the following missing/not available KYC information:

  1. Father's/Spouse Name
  2. Marital Status
  3. Nationality
  4. Gross Annual Income or Net worth as on recent date
  5. In-Person Verification (IPV)

To update the missing information, investors have to use the"KYC Details Change Form" for Individuals Only available at www.sundarammutual.com or www.amfiindia.com Section B of the form highlights 'Mandatory fields for KYC done before 1 January 2012' which has to be completed.

In case of Non-Individuals, KYC needs to be done afresh due to significant and major changes in KYC requirements by using"KYC Application form" available for Non-Individuals only in the websites stated above.

Duly filled forms with IPV can be submitted along with a purchase application, to the new mutual fund where the investor is investing/ opening a folio. Alternatively, investors may also approach their existing mutual funds at any investor service centre to update their 'missing/not available' KYC information.

As per the circular, certain details which were a part of uniform KYC (Know Your Customer) form viz. Occupation details, Gross Annual Income/net-worth and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) status were shifted to intermediary specific application forms so that the KYC form is kept uniform across intermediaries. Accordingly, the updated KYC form and application form can be accessed at www.sundarammutual.com.

Subsequent to the issue of this circular, point no. d) Gross Annual Income or Net worth as on recent date mentioned under the"missing/not available KYC information" in the KYC form covered in KYC15 stands removed as this information has been moved to the intermediary specific application form. The remaining missing information has to be provided by investors who intend to invest in a new mutual fund, where they have not invested/ opened a folio earlier.

Further, investors who have used the updated KYC form but old application form (one without the details as underlined above) while subscribing to the units of Schemes of Sundaram Mutual Fund should also submit the Additional KYC details form available at www.sundarammutual.com.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a small, regular investment in mutual funds for a fixed time period. Benefits of SIP are that they make sure you invest regularly inculcating investing discipline, you can start investing with as little as ₹500, give you flexibility to choose your SIP amount, date of debit, frequency of SIP and the period until which your SIP should run, and average out investment costs. Read more about SIPs here.

If an investor wants to invest ₹12,000 and makes a one-time investment at a NAV of ₹15, units allotted will be 800 (12,000/15).

In the case of a SIP, the investor distributes ₹12,000 over a year and invests ₹1,000 every month. The amount will be invested at different levels of NAV, as market conditions and level of indices keep changing on a day-to-day basis. The investment in 12 instalments will get averaged at different NAVs in an automatic manner without the investor timing the entry point.

When investments are done at regular intervals, units are accumulated at different market levels. When an equal sum is invested every month, the amount will get averaged based on the different NAV's. Here's an example:

SIP Date SIP Amount (₹) NAV per unit (₹) Number of units (SIP amount/NAV)
1st Oct 2018 1,000 10 100
1st Nov 2018 1,000 10.5 (increased) 95.238 (lesser units)
1st Dec 2018 1,000 9.5 (decreased) 105.26 (more units)
Total 3,000 300.49
Average cost per unit (Total amount/total number of units) 9.98

SIP can be done as weekly (every Wednesday), monthly or quarterly instalments for open-ended Equity schemes (except ELSS), equity hybrid funds and Fixed Income Schemes of Sundaram Mutual, taking into account that the total aggregate of such cheques & payment instructions is not less than ₹5,000.

  1. Weekly: Minimum amount ₹1000 every Wednesday, minimum number of instalments 5
  2. Monthly:
    1. Equity and equity oriented (except ELSS): Minimum amount ₹100, minimum number of instalments is 20
    2. Debt funds: Minimum amount ₹250, minimum number of instalments is 20
  3. Quarterly: Minimum amount ₹750, minimum number of instalments is 7

You cannot change your SIP date. You will have to cancel your SIP and start a new one.

You can start SIPs only in the case of equity and fixed income funds. For liquid funds, only lump sum investments are allowed.

Except in ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme) or tax-saving funds, which have a lock-in period of three years, investments in other funds can be redeemed before the end of the SIP tenure. Each SIP instalment in ELSS funds has a 3-year lock-in period.

Redemption of the amount during the SIP period will not amount to stopping the SIP. The SIP will remain active unless the investor specifically requests stopping the SIP by means of a written and duly signed request.

There are specific dates for investment. In the case of Sundaram Mutual, the SIP dates are 1st, 7th, 14th, 20th, & 25th of every month. The investor can opt for only one of these dates for investment. In this case, every month during the SIP tenure, the investor will be allotted units based on the NAV on that date. In case it is a holiday, units will be allotted based on the NAV of the next working day.

You can stop the SIP by submission of a written request for cancellation of SIPs with complete details.

30 days is the time gap between giving the first cheque and the subsequent cheques.

SIP monthly instalments for the tenure and the first cheque should necessarily be for the same amount. Each monthly instalment after the first cheque is of the same amount.

Though investments can be switched between schemes, SIPs will continue in the registered scheme until its closure.

Units allotted = amount invested/ applicable NAV
The applicable NAV is the NAV on the day when the investment will be made. Thus, the units allotted will differ depending on the applicable NAV during different months. If the SIP date during a month is a holiday, units will be allotted at the applicable NAV of the subsequent working day.

Income will be distributed or reinvested based on the eligible units on the record date. During the tenure of the SIPs, the investor is entitled to receive the income on their holdings.

Pursuant to RBI guidelines on Electronic Clearing Service (ECS), the process stated below shall be followed for ECS (and post-dated cheque) rejections pertaining to investments in the schemes through Systematic Investment Plan (SIP):
  1. If the rejection of ECS is for the reason "account closed", the cheque won't be presented again and this will lead to closure of SIP.
  2. If the rejection of ECS is for the reason "insufficient funds", only two subsequent representations shall be made. Rejection of the third representation will lead to closure of SIP.
  3. If the rejection of ECS is for any other reason, only two subsequent re-presentations shall be made. Rejection of the two subsequent re-presentations will lead to closure of SIP.

We will send a Not in Good Order policy letter along with Banker's memo through courier/ Registered post. A duplicate cheque will not be accepted against the bounced cheque.

We will send a transaction confirmation through email/ SMS provided you have registered your email address and mobile number with us.

If you have a KYC compliant valid folio, you can register SIP online.

If the investor wishes to change the amount/ date/ frequency of an ongoing SIP, the investor needs to use a fresh SIP application form to register a new SIP in the same Scheme.
Investor holds the right to discontinue the SIP facility at any time by sending a written request to offices of Sundaram Asset Management or Customer Care Centres of Registrar & Transfer Agent. This request notice should be received at least 21 days prior to the due date of the next payment.

No. Purchases made through third party cheque(s) and third party ECS will not be accepted. In case of payment from a Joint Bank Account, the First holder in the Application must be one of the Joint Account Holders of the Joint Bank Account. However, the following are excluded from this restriction:
  1. Gifts to a minor from Parents/ grandparents up to ₹50,000 per annum (for aggregate purchase/ aggregate SIP Instalment).

The legal heirs are entitled to get the investment transferred in their name subject to submission of relevant documents.

At present, we allow only weekly, monthly, and quarterly SIPs.

Yes, you will get a ‘SIP due' alert five days before the next SIP date, provided you have registered your email address and mobile number with us. The investor would also be getting an email/ SMS alert for SIP renewal, on a T minus 7 days basis, where T is the last SIP transaction date.

Renewal option is available. Any extension of an existing SIP will be treated as a new SIP based on the date of receipt of such a renewal application. Terms and conditions applicable will be as on the date of renewal.

You can invest on behalf of a minor as the Guardian. On attaining majority, we can change the status from Minor to Individual based on receipt of the following documents of the investor (your son/daughter):
  1. attested copy of birth certificate of the minor
  2. PAN card copy
  3. KYC (Know Your Client) confirmation/ acknowledgement letter from the banker (of the bank registered in our records/ going to be registered in our records)

The SIP Enrolment and Auto Debit form can be used to change bank details for an ongoing SIP. Please tick the box indicated, fill in the folio number alongside, proceed to fill up the details under SIP Auto Debit: Bank Account Details, and sign.

The SIP Top-Up feature allows you to increase your contribution to a SIP at pre-determined intervals by a fixed amount during the tenure of SIP.

  1. Add to your Savings: As personal income increases, you can add to your investments through SIP by opting to top-up your investments by a fixed amount at pre-determined intervals.
  2. Ease of business: This unique service offering also helps avoid the paperwork associated with increasing your SIP contribution during the SIP tenure.
  3. Ease of Maintenance: The Top-up feature reduces the necessity for creating and tracking multiple SIPs in the same Scheme.

SIP Top-up will be implemented on the next SIP date and will continue for the entire tenure. However, the top-up amount will start after the regular SIP installment. For example, if you choose to top-up by Rs.500 per month, then, after your regular SIP installment is completed, the top-up amount will be added.

Top-up feature under the SIP facility is currently available under all open-ended schemes of Sundaram Mutual except Sundaram Money Fund and Sundaram Debt Oriented Hybrid Fund.

Sundaram Prosperity SIP

Sundaram Prosperity SIP (hereby known as Prosperity SIP) is a product that helps investors build a corpus through monthly systematic investing (SIP) over a period of time (ex.,10 years) and then withdraw a sum monthly (SWP) from it over time to meet their needs.

  1. Start a monthly SIP in an available open-ended equity/hybrid scheme:

    For a pre-defined period of either 7 years, 10 years, 12 years, 15 years, 20 years, 25 years or 30 years. The minimum SIP amount shall be Rs. 2000 and Multiples of Re.1 thereafter.

  2. Switch to another (the target) scheme:

    On completion of the SIP period (the investor can also choose to remain in the same Scheme). Switch on completion of the SIP period will happen as per the then prevailing regulations (T+15 days currently).

    Note: T is the date of the last SIP instalment.

    Option A: Same scheme for SIP and SWP.

    Option B: SIP and SWP will be in different schemes. SIP will be in the Source scheme on completion of the SIP Tenure, the amount will be switched to the Target Scheme at the Applicable NAV at the end of 15 days from the date of the last SIP instalment and SWP will be carried out from the Target Scheme.

    If the Source Scheme is mentioned and the Target scheme is not mentioned, SWP will be registered in the same scheme as selected for SIP.

  3. Start a monthly SWP to your bank account:

    Post the Switch, the SWP will be activated for the pre-selected SWP amount on the application form, or an amount as per the table below in case no amount is specified.

    SIP Tenure Default Monthly SWP
    7 years 1.0 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    10 years 1.5 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    12 years 2.0 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    15 years 3.0 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    20 years 5.0 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    25 years 8.0 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    30 years 12.0 x of the monthly SIP Instalment
    For example: If the initial SIP registered for tenure of 10 years is Rs. 10,000 per month, then the SWP will be Rs 15,000 (1.5x of Rs. 10,000).
