CAMS Online portal
CAMS Online is the investor-facing and distributor-facing portal operated by CAMS (Computer Age Management Services Limited), accessible at camsonline.com. The portal provides holders of mutual fund folios serviced by CAMS-registered AMCs with the ability to access account information, transact (purchase, redeem, switch, SIP register), download account statements, submit service requests, and view their portfolio across all CAMS-serviced AMC schemes.
CAMS Online is one of two primary registrar portals in Indian mutual fund investing, the other being KFinKart operated by KFin Technologies. Together, these portals provide direct registrar-level access that complements multi-AMC aggregator platforms such as Kuvera, ET Money, Groww, and the joint MF Central portal.
Background
CAMS has operated its investor-facing portal since the early 2000s, progressively enhancing it to support eKYC-based access, online transactions, and direct-plan investing following SEBI’s 2013 direct plan mandate. The portal is built on CAMS’ core registrar infrastructure, providing real-time access to the folio data that CAMS maintains on behalf of its AMC clients.
AMCs accessible through CAMS Online
CAMS Online provides access to folios under CAMS-serviced AMCs, which include (as of 2024-25):
- HDFC AMC
- SBI AMC (SBI Funds Management)
- ICICI Prudential AMC
- Axis AMC
- DSP AMC
- Tata AMC
- Franklin Templeton AMC (India)
- Mirae Asset AMC

Folios under KFin-serviced AMCs (Nippon India, Kotak, ABSL, UTI) are not accessible on CAMS Online; those investors must use KFinKart or MF Central for the KFin-serviced portion of their portfolio.

Distributor portal
CAMS Online includes a distributor-facing portal for AMFI ARN holders managing client portfolios across CAMS-serviced AMCs. Distributors may view client portfolio data, initiate transactions on behalf of clients (with client authorisation), and access batch processing for high-volume distributors.
Comparison with MF Central
MF Central covers both CAMS and KFin Technologies folios in one portal, making it the preferred interface for investors with holdings across AMCs serviced by both registrars. CAMS Online is the more granular, feature-rich interface for CAMS-specific AMC interactions, particularly for service requests requiring direct registrar processing.
Access requirements
CAMS Online access requires:
- PAN (used as the login identifier)
- Registered mobile number or email (for OTP verification)
- KYC-compliant status
Investors without existing CAMS folios may also create accounts to access services or begin investing in direct plans of CAMS-serviced AMCs.
