Read the SID / SAI / KIM of the scheme before investing. Complete KYC (CKYC / KRA) and risk profiling before your first transaction. Invest based on your goals, risk appetite, and time horizon — not on tips or short-term noise. Review your portfolio at least annually with the distributor. Check your Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) regularly for all folios. Keep your bank details, PAN, address, and nominee updated. Use SCORES (https://scores.sebi.gov.in/) and SMART ODR (https://smartodr.in/) for unresolved complaints. Ask questions about scheme risk, exit load, expense ratio, and commission before investing.
