What if you DO not link Aadhaar to Mutual Funds?

The mutual fund account would be frozen which means investors would not be able to initiate ant transaction like Purchase (New & additional purchase), Redemptions, Switches, New registration of SIPs, STP, SWP, etc.

However automatic transactions like existing SIP, dividend pay-out, closed fund redemption and non-financial transaction would be allowed.

As of today Government has mandated Aadhaar linkage to all financial investments, but this has been challenged in court. Supreme Court may give some ruling going forward which may/may not modify existing orders. The deadline has to link Aadhaar has been extended to March 31, 2018 from December 31, 2017. In case you have NO inhibitions or objections to link Aadhaar to your investments go ahead and DO it. If you want to wait for Supreme court verdict, expect something in March 2018.
