The eCAN is issued by <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/mfu-mutual-fund-utility/">MFU (Mutual Fund Utility)</a> , the not-for-profit utility company owned by major AMCs and operated as an industry-shared infrastructure for cross-AMC mutual fund transactions. Once an investor has an eCAN, every subsequent mutual fund transaction (purchase, SIP, redemption, switch) can route through a single login regardless of which AMC&rsquo;s scheme is involved.</p>https://v2.webnotes.in/ecan/Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://v2.webnotes.in/ecan/<p><strong>eCAN</strong> (electronic Common Account Number) is the online registration process by which an investor creates a Common Account Number (CAN) on <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/mfu-mutual-fund-utility/">MFU (Mutual Fund Utility)</a> using a fully digital, paperless workflow. The eCAN process allows an investor who is already KYC-compliant to register a CAN on MFU without submitting physical forms, enabling direct-plan and regular-plan mutual fund transactions across multiple AMCs through a single account identifier.</p> <p>The CAN itself is the unique investor-level identifier on MFU that aggregates transactional access across all participating AMCs. The eCAN is the digital pathway to creating this CAN, as distinct from the physical CAN registration form (CRF) process that requires paper documents.</p>
