SEBI AMFI Registration

SEBI AMFI Registration

If you want to distribute mutual funds in India — as an individual, firm, or platform — you need an AMFI Registration Number (ARN). It proves you’re qualified, compliant, and authorised to sell mutual fund products. Without it, you can’t earn commissions or onboard investors through AMCs.

What is AMFI Registration?

A certification and registration issued by AMFI after clearing the NISM Mutual Fund Distribution exam. It allows you to act as a Mutual Fund Distributor and get empaneled with AMCs. Although AMFI grants ARN, SEBI sets the regulatory framework and eligibility.

Who needs ARN?

• Individual mutual fund distributors

• Financial planners and wealth managers

• Banks, NBFCs, advisory firms

• Fintech platforms distributing MFs

• NRI distributors serving Indian investors

If you’re recommending or selling mutual funds for commission, you need ARN.
