Mutual Fund Distributor Kaise Bane? (2026 Guide)

Mutual fund distributor (MFD) banne ke teen main steps hain: NISM V-A pass karna, AMFI se ARN lena, aur AMCs ke saath empanel hona. Total time is baat par depend karta hai ki aap exam ki taiyari mein kitna time lagate ho; ARN process khud kuch hafton ka hota hai.

Step 1: NISM Series V-A pass karo

V-A mein 100 one-mark MCQs hote hain, duration 120 minute hai, aur pass mark 50 out of 100 hai. Isme koi negative marking nahi hai, isliye har sawaal attempt karna chahiye. Fee Rs 1,500 plus payment-gateway charges hai. Exam sirf test centre par hota hai. Registration ke steps how to register par hain, aur syllabus V-A syllabus page par.

Step 2: AMFI se ARN lo

Exam pass karne ke baad AMFI ke online portal par ARN ke liye apply karo. KYD (Know Your Distributor) ab paperless hai aur Aadhaar authentication par based hai. Nayi individual ARN ki fee Rs 3,000 plus GST hai. Poore documents aur steps ke liye ARN number process page dekhein.

Step 3: AMCs ke saath empanel ho jao

ARN milne ke baad jin fund houses ke schemes aap bechna chahte ho, unke saath empanelment karna padta hai. Har AMC ki apni process aur paperwork hoti hai.

Kharcha kitna aata hai

NISM V-A exam fee	Rs 1,500 plus gateway charges
AMFI ARN registration (individual)	Rs 3,000 plus GST
Validity	NISM certificate 3 saal, ARN 3 saal
ARN renewal	Rs 1,500 plus GST

Yani exam aur ARN milakar shuruaati kharcha lagbhag Rs 5,000 ke aaspaas hota hai (GST aur gateway charges ke saath), preparation ka kharcha alag. Fees badal sakti hain, isliye exam fees page aur AMFI ki site par current amount dekhein.

Income kaise hoti hai

MFD ki income AMC se milne wale commission se hoti hai, jo regular plans ke expense ratio mein shamil hota hai. Rate scheme aur AMC ke hisaab se alag hota hai, isliye koi ek "typical" percentage maan lena sahi nahi hoga. Trail commission client ke invested amount (AUM) par chalta hai, isliye income client base ke saath dheere-dheere badhti hai. MFD client se alag se advisory fee nahi le sakta; fee lekar advice dene ka route SEBI Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) banna hai, jiske liye X-A aur X-B alag exams hain.

Ek naya option: V-D

NISM ne 22 July 2026 ko Series V-D launch kiya, jo mutual fund aur SIF distributors ke liye hai (150 MCQs, 180 minute, 10% negative marking). SEBI ke 21 July 2026 ke decision ke according jo distributor sirf mutual fund bechna chahte hain, woh V-A ke saath continue kar sakte hain; mutual fund aur SIF dono bechne ke liye V-D chahiye. Poori detail V-D vs V-A vs XIII aur SIF distributor kaise bane pages par hai; ARN apply karne se pehle AMFI par current requirement confirm karein. Sabhi exams ka comparison exam pattern page par hai.
