Generation of unique registration number (URN)

A URN is generated after all the information is filled up and submitted. It is sent out to the investor’s email id and mobile number and acts as a reference number to register i-SIP on the investor’s Internet banking website.

Registration on Net banking portal

Within 10 days of the URN being generated, the investor must access his bank’s Net banking portal. In the bill payment section, the investor can add the mutual fund as a new biller. The URN must be entered when prompted. Once the biller details are added, the bank will activate the biller after verification. While adding biller details, the investor can give an auto debit instruction for SIP installments.

Points to note

The i-SIP registration process is meant for only one SIP instruction. To add any other scheme, a separate i-SIP registration process must be completed.

i-SIP instruction can be discontinued at any point by deleting the biller from the investor's Net banking portal.
