New KYC Norms for your Mutual Fund Investments

New KYC Norms Mean for Your Mutual Fund Investments

All mutual fund investors, whether new or existing, will have to provide additional Know Your Customer (KYC) details to their fund houses.

Key Points:

In September this year, the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI) came out with a circular directing mutual fund companies to collect additional information from new investors from November 1, 2015 to comply with norms of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The mutual fund body advised fund houses to make the additional KYC information mandatory for investors from January 1, 2016.
The additional KYC details a mutual fund investor has to provide under FATCA and CRS include gross annual income, net worth, occupation, source of wealth and country of birth.
If the investor is tax resident in any country other than India, the additional information required will include tax identification number and country of tax residency.

How to update?

An investor can update the information both online and offline. For investments in more than one mutual fund, investors have the option to update the information online by visiting the respective website of the fund house.
The investor can also download the form and submit it on the point-of-services (POS) or the nearest office of the mutual fund house.
To avoid updating the KYC information with multiple fund houses, the investor can simply update it with the registrars.
If mutual fund investor is serviced by a single registrar, they don't have to have to update the information with both the registrars. But in case they want to start a new investment in a mutual fund which is using services of the other registrar, they have to update the information with both registrars.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
