PART B — Your 6 Essential Obligations as an Investor

1. Provide Accurate Information

Furnish complete and up-to-date personal, banking, and contact details. Inform FINWISDOM and KRA immediately if your address or phone changes.

2. Complete Mandatory KYC

Ensure your KYC verification is completed via a SEBI-registered KRA. NRI investors must provide required FATCA/CRS tax declarations.

4. Maintain Credential Security

Never share your transaction OTP, net-banking passwords, or folio PINs. Never sign blank application slips or blanket authority forms.

5. Maintain Realistic Horizons
