Folio number in mutual funds

A folio number is the unique account identifier assigned by a mutual fund AMC to an investor’s holding within that AMC. The folio holds all units across schemes within the same AMC, identified by a single number that the AMC uses to track ownership, transactions, statements, dividends and redemptions. The folio is conceptually similar to a bank account number, but operates at the AMC level rather than across the broader Indian banking or financial system.

A folio number is a unique identifier assigned by a mutual fund’s Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) to each distinct investor account held with an AMC. All mutual fund units purchased by an investor from a given AMC are consolidated under a folio number for that investor with that AMC. The folio number is analogous to an account number in a bank: it identifies the investor-AMC relationship and aggregates all holdings, transactions, and correspondence under a single reference.
