Investing in mutual funds is a great way to build your wealth over time. However, it can be quite tedious to manually transfer money every time you want to invest. That's where a Bank Mandate comes in handy! In this blog, we'll explain what a bank mandate is and how you can set it up for your CAMS account in just a few easy steps.

Firstly, let's understand what a bank mandate is :

When you invest in Mutual fund, you can transfer the amount via NEFT, UPI, Net Banking, by adding biller and via other payment modes. However, if you set up a Bank Mandate, it helps you to automate the investment process, so you don't have to worry about manually transferring money every time you want to invest in mutual funds.  All you need to do is share the OTP to confirm the transaction.

In simple words, a bank mandate is a permission given by you to your bank to automatically transfer money from your bank account to your mutual fund investment account. This authorization allows mutual fund companies to withdraw money directly from your bank account on specific dates, as per the mandate given by you. It is a convenient and hassle-free way to invest in mutual funds regularly.

PS - Please note this is not a payment and no amount will be debited from your account.
