1. Basics of Mutual Fund
KYC is an acronym for 'Know Your Customer'. KYC is commonly used to describe the 'Client Identification' process and it is a one-time requirement applicable for all unit holders, including guardians and Power of Attorney holders.
Certain requirements are prescribed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 as amended from time to time for Financial Institutions and Financial Intermediaries including Mutual Funds to 'know' their customers. The KYC process helps prevent money laundering and other suspicious transactions.
For units pledged in favour of scheduled banks, financial institutions (FI), non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) or any other body corporate for raising loans, the pledgee shall also be required to be KYC compliant, in addition to the pledgor.
For transmission (In case of death of the unit holder): If the deceased is the sole applicant, the claimant should submit his/her KYC acknowledgement along with the other relevant documents to effect the transmission in his/her favour.
CKYC refers to Centralized KYC (Know Your Customer). The main objective is to have a single platform which facilitates investors to complete their KYC only once before interacting with various entities across the financial services sector.
If you are an Individual Investor, you can complete your KYC process online through our website click here (eKYC).

If your units are not allotted within 2-3 days, please email us at investorcare@unionmf.com

You may redeem your units online.(Click Here)

Funds will usually be credited to your registered bank account within 1-3 business days, depending on the scheme you have redeemed from.
• Liquid/Debt schemes: T+1
• Equity & Hybrid Schemes: T+2
'T' here stands for transaction day (So 'T +1' means 1 day after the day you made the transaction). 'Business Day' is a day other than Saturday and Sunday or a day on which the banks in Mumbai or BSE/NSE/RBI are closed.
The redemption proceeds are paid directly to your registered bank account through RTGS/NEFT, provided we have complete core banking account details registered in the folio.
Unfortunately, this is not possible in one single step. As per regulations, a change of bank mandate request and a redemption request cannot be processed together. There has to be a gap of 10 days between these two specific requests. This regulatory gap is for the protection of investors, to reduce fraud and other operational risk.
Instant Access Facility is a facility which allows the investor to place a redemption request in the specified scheme and have the amount credited into the registered bank account using the Immediate Payment Services (IMPS) facility.(Click Here)
The Instant Access facility is only available under the Growth Option of Union Liquid Fund (i.e. Union Liquid Fund - Direct Plan - Growth Option and Union Liquid Fund -Growth Option). Investors of this scheme only will be allowed to avail this facility.
a) This facility is available only for Resident Indian individuals;
b) The investor should have the complete CBS (Core Banking System) account number registered in the folio along with the IFSC code; and
c) The Investor’s bank should be Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) enabled.
In addition to the above, the investor should not have placed a Change of Bank request in the folio for the past 10 days.
A request under Instant Access Facility can be placed through the Link from any place, at any time, as per the investor’s convenience.
No. A physical request cannot be placed for the Instant Access Facility. This Facility is available only for transactions through online mode.
The maximum per day redeemable amount would be Rs 50,000 or 90% of the current value of available units with the investor, whichever is lower. The minimum redemption amount is Rs 1000/-, and in multiples of Re. 1/- thereafter.
Under the Instant Access facility, investors can submit redemption request only in terms of amount, and not in terms of units.
1) If the request is received up to 3.00 pm, the applicable NAV would be the lower of:
a) The NAV of the previous calendar day; and
b) The NAV of the calendar day on which the Instant Redemption request is received.
2) If the request is received after 3.00 pm, the applicable NAV would be the lower of:
a) The NAV of the calendar day on which such application is received, and
b) The NAV of the next calendar day.
No. For using this facility, there are no additional fees or costs.
No, the Instant Access Facility is not available for units held in dematerialized form. It is available only for units held in physical mode.
Yes, you may switch your units by visiting our website.(Click Here)
Alternatively, you may submit a
transaction form to any of our branches or at any CAMS Investor Service Centres near you.
A switch from one scheme to the other is treated as a redemption from the switch-out scheme and a purchase into the switch-in scheme. Therefore, relevant entry or exit loads will apply.
All the information pertaining to the scheme loads is available on the relevant scheme pages on our website.
No. There is no exit load applicable for switching from the Direct Plan to the Regular Plan. However, such a switch would be taxable, wherever capital gains tax applies.
A Systematic Investment Plan or an SIP is a facility that allows an investor to invest a particular amount on a regular basis in a disciplined manner. An investor who opts for an SIP facility must submit the required forms either online or offline. Based on the mandate provided by the investor, a particular amount is deducted from the investor's bank account on the set frequency and invested in the scheme selected by the investor.
Any person with a valid KRA-KYC (Know Your Customer) can invest in Mutual Funds. Please click here for detailed information on who can invest in Mutual Funds.
SIP offers many benefits. A few of them are:-
a) Regular and disciplined investment approach
b) Rupee cost averaging
c) Fund manager's professional experience and expertise.
There is no particular Scheme that will suit all types of investors. The selection of the scheme would depend on your risk profile, investment goals and the set time horizon to meet your investment goals.
Investment in an SIP can be made through both online and offline modes.
For Offline mode (NACH/One-time Mandate (OTM)/Debit Mandate), the investor is required to submit the following documents: -
For New Investors:
1. Common application form (SIP OTM / NACH/ Debit Mandate Form)
2. Original cancelled cheque of the same bank where an SIP debit is to be initiated. The cheque should have the name and account number pre-printed on the face.
3. KRA-KYC acknowledgment for the sole holder/ all joint holders, as applicable.
For Existing Investors:
If you are an Existing Investor with a pre-registered OTM, then you need not fill the OTM form again. Instead, you just need to fill the SIP details, tick on OTM and submit the same to the nearest CAMS ISC or Union AMC branch.
The entire SIP registration process takes around 30 days. Hence, the first auto SIP debit will start on the date selected by the investor post completion of 30 days from the receipt of the SIP form.
Whereas for online mode registering an SIP is very simple, quick and convenient. Just login to our portal
unionmf.com/investorlogin/ and follow the instructions. Complete the process by registering the Unique Registration Number (URN) at your bank site by following the instructions mentioned in the confirmation mail. SIP will be registered within 10 days post the successful registration confirmation received by your bank. Online mode is a preferred mode of investment since this eliminates all the hassles of paperwork.
OTM is a one-time registration process that will make your investment process simple, convenient and paperless. Without having to sign a cheque or send money online, OTM is an authorization you give to your bank to debit your account up to a certain limit each day as and when you invest with Union Mutual Fund.
Investors who have already registered for an OTM facility or filed an OTM form do not need to do so again because OTM registration only need to be done once for each bank account. However, such investors may fill out the form if they want to add a new bank account to the OTM facility.
For most schemes, you can start an SIP with a minimum amount of Rs. 1000 each month for a minimum of 6 months. However, the same would differ basis the scheme you have selected and the frequency at which you choose to invest. Below is a snapshot for quick reference.
| SIP Frequency# | SIP Minimum Amount# | Minimum Period | Default Date/Day | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Applicable to Schemes other than Union Long Term Equity Fund) | Union Long Term Equity Fund | |||
| Daily | Rs. 300 and in multiples of Re.1 thereafter | Not applicable | 1 Month | - |
| Weekly | Rs. 500 and in multiples of Re. 1 thereafter | Rs. 500 and in multiples of Rs. 500 thereafter | 12 Weeks | Wednesday |
| Monthly | Rs. 1000 and in multiples of Re. 1 thereafter | Rs. 500 and in multiples of Rs. 500 thereafter | 6 Months | 8th of the month |
| Quarterly | Rs. 5000 and in multiples of Re. 1 thereafter | Rs. 1500 and in multiples of Re. 500 thereafter | 2 Quarters | 8th of the month |

An SIP Top Up facility is one where an investor can increase the SIP amount at regular intervals without having to submit a fresh SIP mandate every time. This facility is available in half-yearly and yearly frequencies and the top-up amount has to be a minimum of Rs. 100 and in multiples of Rs. 100 thereafter. For complete details about the facility, please refer to the Scheme Information Document and Key Information Memorandum of the respective scheme.

For complete details about the facility, please refer to the Scheme Information Document and the Key Information Memorandum of the respective scheme.
Click here for the SIP pause form.
Alternatively, an investor can pause his/her SIP online by clicking here.
In case an investor intends to renew his/ her SIP in the same scheme or any other scheme, the following documents need to be submitted to the AMC 30 days prior to the last instalment date:
• SIP mandate form (SIP OTM / NACH mandate form),
• Original cancelled cheque of the same bank where SIP debit is to be initiated
• KRA-KYC acknowledgment for the sole holder/ all joint holders, as applicable.
Alternatively, you can renew your SIP online, by simply clicking on this link and following the instructions.
An ISIP or an internet-based SIP is a completely paperless way of setting up an SIP. It takes away the cumbersome process of paperwork and replaces it with a simple and convenient way of registering the SIP online using internet banking and biller addition.
Once you have registered your SIP on our website, a Unique Registration Number (simply referred to as URN) is generated. This URN will act as your transaction reference number.
The next step is to login to your net banking, add Union Mutual Fund as a biller, and confirm the transaction by entering the URN number. Please note that the URN has to be entered in the same format as it appears in the SIP confirmation email sent by Union MF. Also, this URN is valid only up to 7 days and therefore needs to be registered with your bank within these 7 days. Any queries regarding ISIP application / registration can be resolved promptly based on the URN.
Union Mutual Fund offers you Online SIP (ISIP) through the banks mentioned below. Please note that you need to have your net banking and bill pay registration facility availed with your bank for using the ISIP facility. Click Here

Two options are available when registering any biller on Net Banking, viz. "Auto pay" and "View and Pay" options. "Auto Pay" ensures that the SIP amount is directly debited from your bank account on the SIP due date without any manual intervention. However, under the "View & Pay" option, you need to manually authorize the payments on or before the SIP due date. If the investor fails to authorize this debit, the scheduled SIP transaction shall be reversed.
Yes. You can opt for the OTM Facility by clicking on the below link
www.camsonline.com and following the steps given in the link. The OTM will be updated folio-wise. All the details required to update the OTM, like bank details, maximum amount to be debited, SIP tenure, etc., need to be filled in and validated by logging into net banking. This completes the OTM registration from the investor's side. The bank would take 3 - 4 days to validate and update the online SIP mandate details in the system.
You can then make one-time purchases or SIP transaction basis the OTM registered.
Yes. Basis an existing OTM, you can make one-time purchases and conduct SIP transactions online and offline.
You can cancel your online SIP by logging into to our website with your username and password. Post login, under the SIP tab, select the specific SIP you need to cancel and confirm your request.

Presently, you cannot modify an existing SIP. You will have to cancel the existing SIP and register a new SIP as per your requirement.
STP Intello ("the facility") is a facility wherein unit holder(s) can opt to transfer variable amount(s) from designated open-ended scheme(s) of Union Mutual Fund (Source Scheme) to the designated open-ended scheme(s) of Union Mutual Fund (Target Scheme) at defined intervals. The unitholder would be required to provide a Base Instalment Amount that is intended to be transferred to the Target Scheme.
Please refer to the STP Intello form uploaded on our website www.unionmf.com for complete details about the facility.
STP provides all the benefits that one would get in the case of an SIP. However, if you have a lumpsum amount at your disposal, you may consider investing in one scheme and then systematically transferring the amount to another scheme through the STP facility. This transfer will also benefit you from earning interest income in the transferor scheme until the entire money is systematically transferred to the transferee scheme.
An investor having an existing folio can register for an online STP. To register an STP online, go to www.unionmf.com Log-in section

Then, the duly filled-in STP form must be submitted to the nearest CAMS, ISC or AMC office.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | Daily(Only Business Day) | Not Applicable | Rs. 100 and in multiples of Re. 1/- thereafter | 6 |

For example – monthly/ quarterly/ yearly withdrawal from the investments held in any mutual fund scheme. The amount shall be automatically withdrawn from the selected scheme and credited to the investor's bank account basis pre-defined SWP frequency.
Illustration:
Assume a person has registered an SWP with monthly frequency for an amount of Rs. 2000.
Total units held by the person in the scheme = 8000 units.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Scheme at the time of first instalment is Rs. 20.
Units equivalent to the instalment amount shall be withdrawn = Rs. 2000/ Rs. 20 = 100 units. The amount of Rs. 2000 (subject to exit load and tax deduction at source, if applicable) shall be credited to the investor's bank account.
Units remaining after the first instalment = 8000 -100 = 7900.
SWP is beneficial for investors seeking regular cash flows from their investments. The SWP facility provides the investor the convenience of auto-withdrawal without having to place a redemption request every time the investor wants some amount at his/her disposal.

There will be no penalty if an SWP transaction fails for any reason. However, if the minimum required balance is not available in the scheme for 3 consecutive attempts, the SWP registration will be terminated. The SWP will automatically be terminated if all units are liquidated or withdrawn from the scheme or pledged. Termination will also occur upon receipt of intimation of the death of the unitholder.
