NISM Series V-C: Mutual Fund Distributors (Senior) Certification Examination

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

NISM Series V-C: Mutual Fund Distributors (Senior) Certification Examination is an advanced-level professional certification administered by the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM). It is designed for experienced mutual fund distributors who work with complex products, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors, or institutional clients, and it sets a higher competency bar than the standard NISM Series V-A qualification.

A key regulatory significance of the NISM V-C is that holding a valid V-C certificate supersedes the NISM V-A requirement for ARN issuance and renewal. Distributors who hold V-C do not need to separately maintain a V-A certificate; the V-C qualification covers all activities permitted under V-A and additionally qualifies the holder for distribution of certain higher-complexity products.
