From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~5 min. Level: Beginner.

This guide covers investing in PPFAS Mutual Fund schemes through Paytm Money, the mutual fund and broking subsidiary of One97 Communications (Paytm’s parent company). Paytm Money is a direct-plan-focused fintech platform similar to Groww, Kuvera, and ET Money, with distinctive UPI integration leveraging the Paytm ecosystem. PPFAS schemes are fully available on Paytm Money.

Step-by-step procedure

Step 1: Open Paytm Money

Download the Paytm Money app (Google Play, Apple App Store) or visit paytmmoney.com in a browser. Sign up with mobile number and OTP.

If you have an existing Paytm account, the Paytm Money account onboarding may pre-fill some details for faster activation.

Step 2: Complete KYC

Standard fintech-aggregator KYC:

  • PAN entry and verification.
  • Aadhaar e-KYC via UIDAI OTP.
  • IPV (short video).
  • Bank-account linkage via penny-drop.
  • Signature and photograph upload.

KYC completion typically 24-48 hours.

Step 3: Log in and search for the PPFAS scheme

In the MF section search bar, enter Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund or another PPFAS scheme.

Step 4: Choose Invest then Lump-sum or SIP

Tap Invest on the scheme page:

  • Lump-sum: Enter amount.
  • SIP: Enter amount, frequency (monthly typical), SIP date, tenure.

Step 5: Authorise payment via UPI, net banking, or NACH

Standard payment channels:

  • UPI: Paytm Money’s UPI integration is particularly smooth if the user has a Paytm UPI account; payment confirmation is real-time.
  • Net banking, IMPS, RTGS: Standard alternatives.
  • NACH e-mandate or UPI Autopay (for SIP).

Step 6: Track holdings

Holdings appear in Paytm Money’s MF portfolio dashboard after T+1 allotment. The folio at CAMS is shared with SelfInvest and other aggregator platforms.
