Karvy KRA

Karvy KRA is one of the five KYC registration agencies (KRA) along with other KRAs such as CVLKRA, CAMS KRA, NSDL KRA and NSE KRA. Karvy KRA offers KYC related services for Asset Management Companies and other agencies that are compliant with SEBI.

KYC – Know Your Customer – is a one-time process to confirm and authenticate the identity of an investor. This process is compulsory for all customers buying products of financial institutions such as banks, stock exchanges, Mutual Fund Houses etc. Before the inception of KRA, an investor had to carry out the KYC verification process with each of these financial institutions separately. SEBI then introduced the KYC registration agency (KRA) in order to bring uniformity in the registration process. As mentioned before, Karvy KRA is one such KRA among the other four that provide investors with KYC related services. With Karvy KRA you can check your KYC Status, download the KYC Form and complete the KYC KRA verification.

A: KYC stands for Know Your Customer. When you invest in Mutual Funds or even open a Bank account, you must furnish your KYC details to the bank or the financial institute.

2. How can Karvy KYC help me?

A: The Karvy KYC is an online database where you can register your KYC details for Mutual Fund investment. It is registered under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as a centralized database for maintaining all KYC details of registered customers. So if you do KYC registration on the Karvy KRA portal, you will not have to repeat it anymore, irrespective of the number of mutual fund investments you make.

3. How is KYC verification done online?
