    SEBI extends payment of withheld commission by 3 more months

    AMCs can pay your withheld commission till August 21, 2019.
    Nishant Patnaik Jun 5, 2019

    SEBI has extended the deadline to pay withheld commission to mutual fund distributors by 3 more months. With this, you can receive your withheld commission till August 21, 2019 subject to fulfillment of all requirements.

    Earlier, SEBI had asked fund houses to pay withheld commission including upfront commission earned before October 22, 2018  till May 21, 2019.

    AMCs withhold commission including upfront commission for a number of reasons such as failed transactions, incomplete KYD, pending KYC, and so on.

    However, there is at present confusion among fund houses and distributors if the additional three-month window given to AMCs to pay withheld commission to distributors applies to assets with incomplete KYC.

    Distributors say that there is huge assets with incomplete KYC at stake. In fact, there are cases where the client is not in the country or does not live in the home town. Industry experts believe that many investors who invested before January 1, 2012 did not comply with KYC norms due to frequent regulatory changes. Many distributors are awaiting clarity on whether the circular includes cases with incomplete KYC from SEBI and AMFI.

    This is to show that they do understand our pain and are with us on this but we have to go out and do KYC of all the folios or else AMCs have made their cake and they will eat them as well. Basically they will apply the regular plan TER on them and not give any commission so that they keep the whole TER to thselves and enjoy. If SEBI directs them( SEBI never directs it is AM s who influence them because SEBI people are too busy or are allergic to hear and dust so they don't go out of their AC offices and only takes cues and feedbacks from AMCs) to convert these folios to direct means that client has been poached by AMCs of course to stay in line with the "regulations". So SEBI will be exposed. This is our chance if we all unite than we can reverse every nonsensical and malicious regulations brought so far.

    This is purely narcissistic attitude. Better go straight forward & ban Regular Plans. Let the industry survive on its own.

    The whole bunch of members of AMFI board,

    Have you all ever tried to fill CKYCs or your own AMCs application. You all want us to regulate us in one way or the other as if our living and life is at your mercy.

    Recently I have submitted the investment applicaition along with CKYC to an AMC aligned to CAMS as their RTA. Surprisingly investment is accepted but, CKYC is rejected for the reason that:

    I have furnished 12 digit Aadhar number in KYC and I have not masked first 8 digits in Aadhar xerox which is submitted as proof of address. On inquiry through the AMC of that investment, both me and AMC official at Shimoga, Karnataka was surprised to hear that, as per very latest circular of SEBI, we are not to furnish full 12 digit Aadhar number also we are expected to patiently ink first 8 digits in Aadhar to mask the numbers.

    What the hell of work they are expecting us to do to complete a KYC. If the circular is so to follow, why AMCs are sat on it instead of educating us to follow the procedure to fill.

    CAMS is the one who conveniently sell our financial and structural data across AMCs for financial benefits and now preaches of confidentiality through non disclosure of Aadhar number.

    Enough is enough.

    Infact AMC shuld be asked 2 refund the application amt in case ckyc is rejected due 2 any reason.why only IFA supper. Sebi is IFA biased.

    Hi Raghupati, there was a circular from UIDAI in March which has mandated that an unmasked Aadhaar is not a valid KYC proof. Also, CAMS KRA has clarified that the Aadhaar document is considered as ‘not in good order’ and ‘liable to rejection’ if clients forget to black out the first 8 digits of their Aadhaar number.

    You can write to us at nishant@cafemutual.com if you need further clarity.

    Thank you Mr Nishant. My concern is that up till our submitted KYC is rejected, even the AMC official is unaware of the circular. What holds AMCs to educate us on the issue. And why investment is accepted and KYC submitted alongwith the investment application rejected. Resulted in my investment is tagged as investment with incomplete KYC and not eligible for brokerage. If KYC is not in order, CAMS should reject the investment also.

    Some of my investors who invested through me doesn’t have contact numbers and some of them left the country due to assignment of work by their companies. It’s very difficult to follow up by the IFA’s to get KYC updation. Please understand the difficulties faced by us .
