In a major relief to the mutual fund distributors, NISM has asked AMFI to give relaxation to mutual fund distributors to renew ARN. With this, ARNs which are due for renewal or expiring between March 15 and September 29 continue to remain valid till September 30, 2020.
AMFI will soon make a formal announcement to extend this facility to MF distributors.
In a note, NISM said, “This is to bring to the notice of all NISM certificate holders and stake holders that validity of certificates of certificate holders, who could not appear or attend or enroll for certification examinations or CPE programmes or e CPE programmes and as such, could not renew / are not in a position to renew their certificates, during March 15, 2020 to September 29, 2020 (or time period based on future developments / the Government directions), validity of their certificates shall be extended till September 30, 2020.”
Further, if you have enrolled for certification examination and CPE program during the period, March 14 -April 14, NISM has been offering rescheduling facility and giving you an option to appear for eCPE i.e. online CPE training. With this, you can complete your training through video lessons and quizzes from the comfort of your home and office in three and a half hours.
You can call NISM helpdesk at 8080806476 or write to NISM at certification@nism.ac.in for more details and enquiry.
