Direct mutual fund investing in India

Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Direct mutual fund investing in India refers to investing in the direct-plan variant of a mutual fund scheme, bypassing the distributor channel and consequently paying a lower total expense ratio than the equivalent regular plan. The SEBI direct-plan regime, introduced on 1 January 2013, mandated that every Indian mutual fund must offer a direct variant of every scheme alongside the regular variant. The mechanism is simple: the investor transacts directly with the AMC (or through an execution-only platform that does not earn a distribution commission) rather than through a SEBI-registered mutual fund distributor.

How to open an MFU eCAN (Common Account Number)

Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The MFU eCAN (Common Account Number) is the AMFI-promoted unified investor identity that lets an Indian mutual fund investor transact across all 44 SEBI-registered AMCs through a single account number. The eCAN is issued by MFU (Mutual Fund Utility) , 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’s scheme is involved.

How to invest in PPFAS schemes via MF Utility

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mutual Fund Utility (MFU) at mfuindia.com is the AMC-owned-and-operated transaction platform, run as a cost-recovery utility rather than a commercial intermediary. It is structurally distinct from both AMC-direct portals like SelfInvest and from the joint-RTA MF Central . MFU’s distinctive piece of architecture is the Common Account Number (CAN), a single identifier that aggregates all your holdings across every participating AMC under one record. PPFAS is an MFU-participating AMC, so all seven schemes transact through the CAN.

The Mutual Fund Utility (MFU), operated by MF Utilities India Private Limited and accessible at mfuindia.com, is an industry-utility transaction platform that enables investors and distributors to transact in mutual fund schemes across all participating Indian asset management companies (AMCs) using a single Common Account Number (CAN). MFU was promoted by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI ) and is owned by a consortium of the participating AMCs, structured as a non-commercial industry utility rather than as a commercial venture. The platform was launched in 2015 after several years of industry deliberation and was operational across the major AMC participants by 2016. It now serves as one of the foundational pieces of transaction infrastructure in Indian mutual fund distribution , alongside the registrar-direct portals (CAMS Online , KFinKart), the joint RTA investor portal (MF Central ), the exchange platforms (BSE StAR MF , NSE NMF II ), and the commercial distribution platforms (Groww , Kuvera , ET Money , Zerodha Coin ).

eCAN (electronic Common Account Number)

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

eCAN (electronic Common Account Number) is the online registration process by which an investor creates a Common Account Number (CAN) on MFU (Mutual Fund Utility) 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.

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.

The MFU account statement reflects all transactions – purchases, redemptions, SIP instalments, switches – placed through the MFU channel and consolidates them across participating AMCs.

Mutual fund distribution in India

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mutual fund distribution in India encompasses the regulatory framework, intermediary categories, technology platforms, and transaction infrastructure through which investors purchase, redeem, and switch units of mutual fund schemes offered by asset management companies (AMCs) registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) . The distribution ecosystem is governed by SEBI’s Mutual Fund Regulations 1996 , AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India) guidelines, and the SEBI Investment Adviser Regulations 2013, with further architecture defined by SEBI’s Execution-Only Platform (EOP) framework of 2023. As of 2025, the industry distributed assets under management (AUM) of approximately Rs. 65 trillion across more than 15 crore unique investor folios.
