Short answer

Request a Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) from the registrars (CAMS and KFintech) using his PAN and email. it lists every mutual fund folio across fund houses. Also check his email for fund statements and his bank statements for debits to fund houses or platforms.

Real life

A family has no idea their father invested in funds. A CAS request with his PAN reveals six folios worth ₹9 lakh across four fund houses.

What this means

Mutual fund holdings are linked to PAN. The CAS aggregates them. Transmission to nominees or heirs then happens folio by folio.

What to check

His PAN Access to his email or a registered email Bank statements for SIP debits Demat account (funds can also be held there)

What people often miss

Not checking because "he only did FDs."

The Kerala / NRI angle

Bank branches in Kerala sold funds widely; check statements from every bank for SIP debits.

An example

CAS request → six folios found → transmission filed with death certificate and nominee KYC → units transferred in 6–8 weeks.

When this may not be the right answer

If funds were held in a demat account, the demat transmission route applies instead.

What to do next

Request CAS with PAN List the folios File transmission with each fund house
