How to check KYC status on CAMS or KFin

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~6 min.

Checking your mutual fund KYC status on CAMS or KFin is the first diagnostic step when:

  • A platform rejects your KYC during onboarding.
  • You see Folio Frozen or Cannot Subscribe error.
  • You are switching to a new direct-plan platform and want to verify portability.
  • You suspect duplicate or conflicting KYC records.

This guide covers the lookup procedure on both CAMS KRA and KFin KRA (the two principal SEBI KRA repositories for mutual fund investors).

Step-by-step procedure

See the procedure infobox above for the canonical flow. Detailed notes follow.

CAMS KRA lookup

Visit camskra.com. On the home page, locate the Know Your KYC Status link. Enter your PAN. If you have a KYC record at CAMS, you see one of several statuses.

KFin KRA lookup

Visit kra.kfintech.com. Similar lookup flow. KFin KRA serves the KFin-empanelled AMC investors (Axis MF, UTI MF, Bandhan MF, HSBC MF, Mirae Asset MF among others).

Cross-KRA lookup

Some investors have KYC records spread across multiple KRAs due to historical onboarding at different intermediaries. SEBI’s KRA ecosystem framework allows cross-KRA data sharing, but the master record is usually held at the original KRA.
