    Fund houses resolve complaints speedily: AMFI

    Most complaints are regarding investor data correction
    Shreeta Rege Jun 8, 2018

    The latest AMFI data shows that most AMCs were able to resolve investor complaints within 30 days. Of the 32,206 complaints received during the year, only 570 complaints were unresolved after 30 days. 

    An analysis of AMFI data reveals that investors have generally raised complaints regarding data updation, correction in investor details, or discrepancy in statement of accounts.

    In line with previous trends, most investor complaints were resolved within 30 days. These complaints were largely regarding investor related data though some were regarding non-receipt of dividend. 

    Among AMCs, SBI MF received the highest number of complaints (7,576), followed by HDFC MF with 5,749 complaints and ICICI Prudential MF with 5,134 complaints. Shriram MF, Mahindra MF and IIFL MF received the lowest number of investor complaints largely due to a smaller number of folios.

    Among the top 10 fund houses, Axis, DSP, Reliance and UTI also had the lowest numbers in terms of percentage of complaints against folios, which is indicative of the AMC’s customer service efficiency.

    I wonder how quick Insurance Companies resolve Customer complaints as Insurance is sold as an investment product like MFs in India.

    Hope IRDA is not clueless or hiding the details.
    Gandhi Makarand M · 5 years ago `
    I also wonder , how such can be arrived and what are the criteria to say complaints resolved..? I trade MF on NSE NMF II since 2015. But I found much problems in MF DEMAT transactions at varies stages of processing.
    The purchased units are not getting credited in client demat a/c in time and mostly get credited after few months and after many reminders to AMCs. Still problem could found permanent solution even after 1or 2 years. Recently Registars / AMCs started asking distributors /clients to go to " service provider " to solve issue. Are these issues concluded in complaint resolved...?
    Manish · 5 years ago `
    These are the investor's complaints data. And there is no data of IFA complaints against the AMC. I have made a complaint to AMFI against an AMC for non compliance and irregularities in brokerage payments but the AMC seems quiet confident that nothing will be initiated against it by AMFI despite of the fact that I have provided all the documentary evidences to prove its non compliance and unfair operational practices.

    I think the IFA community should look into it very seriously and demand a special vigilance team from AMFI to address the IFAs grievances also.
    Vikas Gupta · 5 years ago
    I totally agree with Mr. Manish. There should be some platform for IFA complaints against the AMC/Registrar. I have a lot of problems with CAMS, Rohtak for more than a year but there is no body to resolve the issues.
    Manish · 5 years ago
    Then you must make a written complaint to AMFI. Although AMFI does not take any action against the AMC even if you provide strong substantial proofs against the AMC. That's my experience. But it does not mean that you keep quiet. You must raise your voice. And discuss it in the IFA forums and all other relevant places in your reach. You might get the resolution to an extent if not the full justice.
    Prashant · 5 years ago
    Divided we fall. IFA community? What IFA community...no unity and unity not even possible since everyone are just too damn selfish or extremely philanthropic towards AMCs. IFAs are vision less and will perish very soon if dont come together and fight against mutual fund lobby(AMFI) hands in gloves with SEBI.
