Know Your Distributor biometric verification at a CAMS KYD centre is required before ARN is issued.

Bank Account
A valid bank account in the applicant's name for commission credits — cancelled cheque required.

Frequently asked questions
An AMFI Registration Number (ARN) is the licence number issued by AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India) to mutual fund distributors. An ARN is mandatory to sell or recommend mutual fund schemes and to earn commissions from AMCs for distribution.
NISM Series V-A is the Mutual Fund Distributors Certification Examination conducted by the National Institute of Securities Markets. It is mandatory for all individuals seeking an ARN. The certification is valid for 3 years and must be renewed before ARN renewal.
Know Your Distributor (KYD) is a biometric verification process for mutual fund distributors, analogous to KYC for investors. KYD must be completed at a CAMS KYD centre before an ARN is issued and must be updated periodically. KYD verifies the distributor's identity and contact details.
An Employee Unique Identification Number (EUIN) is registered for every employee or sub-broker working under an ARN holder. EUIN must be quoted on all mutual fund transactions where the employee has interacted with the client — it enables SEBI and AMFI to trace advisory responsibility.
Yes. A body corporate (company or LLP) can obtain an ARN, but at least one of its directors or key persons must hold a valid NISM Series V-A certification. The company must also complete KYD for its entity and register EUINs for all employees involved in mutual fund distribution.
