EUIN: Employee Unique Identification Number

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Employee Unique Identification Number (EUIN) is the AMFI-issued identifier carried by individuals employed by corporate-ARN mutual fund distributors. While the ARN is at the entity level (a brokerage firm, an LLP, a partnership), the EUIN identifies the specific person inside that entity who facilitated a given mutual fund transaction.

For Indian retail investors, the EUIN appears on:

Mutual fund application forms (subscription, switch, SIP).
Confirmation statements and Statement of Account.
Distributor commission disclosures.

The EUIN regime ensures personal accountability traces from individual employee to the unitholder transaction, even when the formal distributor is a corporate entity.

AMFI Registration Number (ARN)

The AMFI Registration Number (ARN) is a unique alphanumeric identifier issued by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) to individuals, firms, companies, and other entities that wish to distribute or solicit subscriptions to mutual fund units on behalf of investors in India. No person may act as a mutual fund distributor or receive commissions from an asset management company (AMC) without holding a valid ARN. The requirement derives from SEBI ’s Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, and is administered operationally by AMFI through its ARN issuance infrastructure.

The Employee Unique Identification Number (EUIN) is a mandatory identifier issued by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) to individual employees, agents, or relationship managers of ARN-registered mutual fund distributors who interact with investors to recommend or advise on mutual fund transactions. The EUIN enables SEBI and AMCs to link specific mutual fund transactions to the particular individual who recommended or processed them, creating an individual-level audit trail within the broader ARN-based distributor registration system.
