Getting to know one another is vital in any relationship, whether on a dating app or an investing app. Mutual fund houses mirror this thought and ask investors to complete their KYC (Know Your Customer). It contains your name, address, contact details, etc. KYC for mutual funds is a mandatory prerequisite that needs to be done by all investors. But what happens if your details are not the same anymore, and you may need to update them? Let us help you:
