How to add an old mutual fund folio to a platform / aggregator

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~4 min.

Adding an old mutual fund folio to a platform brings it into your aggregated view. The mechanics depend on the platform: cross-AMC aggregators (MF Central, MFU) auto-detect via PAN, while platform-specific apps (Coin, Groww, Kuvera, ET Money) typically require manual folio entry.

See the procedure infobox above.

Auto-detection vs manual entry

PlatformApproach
MF CentralAuto via PAN; finds all CAMS + KFin folios
MFUAuto via eCAN; cross-AMC
AMC portalDirect; only that AMC’s folios
Coin, Groww, KuveraPlatform-owned folios + manual add
Bank-branch appBank-routed folios only

For comprehensive coverage of old folios: MF Central or MFU.

Aggregator-specific add-folio procedures

MF Central:

  1. Login with PAN + OTP.
  2. Folios auto-fetch.
  3. Verify all expected folios visible.
  4. If missing: contact AMC for PAN linkage (per how-to-link-folio-to-pan-mf).

MFU eCAN:

  1. eCAN setup (one-time, fee).
  2. Folios across MFU-covered AMCs auto-link.
  3. If missing: AMC may not be MFU-covered; use MF Central or AMC direct.

Coin / Groww / Kuvera:

  1. Profile > Holdings.
  2. Look for “Add Existing Folio” or “Import Folio”.
  3. Enter folio number + AMC.
  4. Some platforms verify via OTP to the registered mobile.
  5. Folio added to your platform view.

Limitations of platform addition

  • Folio remains physically at AMC; platform shows mirror view.
  • Some platforms only support folios that were originally subscribed via that platform.
  • Cross-AMC bulk addition not always supported.
  • Historical transactions visible at AMC; not always replicated in platform.

When manual addition fails

  • Folio not registered under your current PAN: link via how-to-link-folio-to-pan-mf first.
  • Folio in different name: KYC update first.
  • AMC not supported by platform: use AMC’s own portal.
  • Pre-PAN folio: use MITRA service to trace.
