Step-by-step procedure

See the procedure infobox above. Below are expanded notes.

Why update the email

The email registered with your KRA is used by AMCs for:

  • Statement of Account dispatch (monthly / on transaction).
  • Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) delivery.
  • Transaction confirmations (purchase, redemption, switch, SIP installments).
  • Tax documents (Form 26AS, capital gains statements at year-end).
  • KYC change notifications and security alerts.

Keeping the email current is operationally critical.

Cascade behaviour

Once the KRA processes the email change, all AMCs in the AMFI ecosystem refresh their folio records, typically within 1-2 working days. There is no need to file a separate email update with each AMC.

FATCA email separate

Some AMCs maintain a separate FATCA self-certification record with its own email field. If you provided a different email at FATCA enrolment, this may need updating separately via the AMC.
