Summary

- The expanded collaboration aims to simplify investor verification.
- This initiative targets remote and underserved areas for greater inclusion.
India Post and UTI Mutual Fund have extended their collaboration to provide doorstep Know Your Customer (KYC) verification services for mutual fund investors throughout India. This expanded partnership focuses on simplifying investor verification and improving access to mutual fund investments, with a particular emphasis on reaching remote and underserved regions.
The initiative, as announced by the Ministry of Communications on October 30, 2026, aims to strengthen financial inclusion by leveraging India Post's extensive network. This builds upon a prior KYC remediation project that assisted investors with pending verification requirements and documentation gaps.
This expanded agreement was formalized in Mumbai on October 30, 2026, by representatives from India Post and UTI Asset Management Company Limited. India Post has previously completed over 5 lakh KYC verifications for mutual fund investors and has entered similar agreements with other mutual fund houses and the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
