No. As an investor you do not pay any direct fee or commission to a mutual fund distributor India. The distributor earns a trail commission directly from the AMC out of the expense ratio of the regular plan. When you invest through India Service Desk you invest in the regular plan of the mutual fund — the commission is built into the fund’s expense ratio and is paid by the AMC, not by you as an additional charge. You receive the NAV of the regular plan which slightly differs from the direct plan NAV.

Yes. India Service Desk operates as a mutual fund distributor India pan India. While we are headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, our services are fully WhatsApp-based and paperless — we have clients across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, and smaller cities across India. NRI clients have been guided from the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, Canada, and Australia. Location is not a barrier for investing through our mutual fund distributor India service.

The minimum SIP amount varies by fund and AMC but most major funds allow a SIP starting from ₹500 per month. ELSS tax saving funds typically start from ₹500 per month. Lumpsum investments generally start from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 depending on the fund. As your mutual fund distributor India we recommend starting with whatever amount is comfortable for your current cash flow — the habit of regular investing matters more than the amount when you start. SIP amounts can be increased at any time.

ELSS or Equity Linked Savings Scheme is a tax-saving mutual fund that qualifies for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act up to ₹1.5 lakh per financial year. It has the shortest lock-in period of 3 years among all 80C instruments and invests in equities for long-term growth potential. As your mutual fund distributor India we help you calculate the optimum ELSS investment amount based on your tax bracket and existing 80C utilisation, select the right ELSS fund, and set up a SIP or lumpsum investment before the financial year end.

Yes. NRIs can invest in Indian mutual funds subject to FEMA guidelines and KYC compliance. As a mutual fund distributor India we guide NRIs through the complete process — NRI KYC documentation, NRO or NRE account requirement, FATCA declaration, fund selection, and investment process. Note that US and Canada-based NRIs may face restrictions from certain AMCs due to FATCA regulations — we clarify this for your specific situation before you begin.

Yes. Your investment goes directly to the AMC — the mutual fund distributor India only facilitates and guides the process and never holds or handles your money. All mutual fund investments are held in your name in a folio registered with the AMC. The AMC and SEBI regulation provide the regulatory safeguards on your investment. AMFI registered distributors like India Service Desk are bound by the AMFI code of conduct and SEBI regulations which protect investor interests.

For resident Indians the basic documents required are PAN card, Aadhaar card for eKYC, a selfie for video KYC, and your bank account details for auto-debit mandate setup. If your KYC is already done with any fund house it is valid for all AMCs. NRIs require additional documents including passport, overseas address proof, NRO or NRE bank account details, and FATCA declaration. As your mutual fund distributor India we share a personalised checklist after understanding your category and existing KYC status.
