Kotak SIP Cancellation Form

If you wish to discontinue your Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) with Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund, you can complete the process either online (via AMC portal, MFCentral, or your broker) or offline using the physical cancellation form.

Important Things to Know Before Cancelling

1. Units Remain Invested: Cancelling an SIP only stops future deductions from your bank account. Your accumulated units remain invested and continue to earn market returns until you submit a redemption request.
2. Notice Period (Cut-off Time): Submit your cancellation request at least 15 to 21 working days prior to your next SIP debit date to ensure the upcoming installment is not deducted.
3. NACH / Mandate Status: Cancelling the SIP scheme registration does not automatically delete your bank OTM (One Time Mandate), which can be reused for future investments.

Option 1: Cancel Kotak SIP Online

A. Via Kotak Mutual Fund Official Website / Investor Portal

1. Visit the Kotak Mutual Fund Investor Portal and log in using your PAN / Folio Number and OTP.
2. Navigate to Transact / Systematic Transactions > SIP / STP / SWP Book.
3. Locate the active SIP scheme you wish to discontinue.
4. Click on Cancel / Stop SIP and select the cancellation reason.
5. Authenticate the cancellation with the OTP sent to your registered mobile/email.

B. Via MFCentral or CAMS

If your Kotak folio is mapped under CAMS:

1. Log in to MFCentral or the CAMS Online Investor Portal.
2. Go to Service Requests > Systematic Transactions Management.
3. Select the Kotak Mutual Fund Folio, choose the active SIP, and submit a Cancellation Request.

C. Via Third-Party Investment Platforms (Groww, Zerodha Coin, AngelOne, etc.)

• If you initiated the SIP through a fintech broker platform or demat mode, you must cancel the SIP directly through that platform’s dashboard, as external AMC-level cancellations may not sync automatically.

Option 2: Cancel Kotak SIP Offline (Using Physical Form)

If you prefer physical processing or your online access is restricted:

1. Download & Print: Download the Kotak SIP Cancellation Form PDF (use the button above).
2. Fill in Required Folio Details:
   • Folio Number
   • Name of First / Sole Holder
   • Scheme Name and Plan (e.g., Kotak Flexicap Fund - Regular / Direct Growth)
   • SIP Amount and SIP Registration Number (URN), if available
   • Effective Date for Cancellation
3. Signatures: Ensure all unit holders sign the form according to the mode of holding (Single or Joint).
4. Submission: Submit the physical form at the nearest Kotak Mutual Fund Branch or CAMS Official Point of Acceptance (POS).
5. Collect Acknowledgement: Keep the stamped acknowledgement slip for your records. Processing typically takes 5–10 business days.

Alternative: Consider “SIP Pause” Instead of Cancelling

If you are facing temporary cash-flow constraints, you don’t necessarily have to cancel your SIP:

• Kotak Mutual Fund offers an SIP Pause Facility, allowing you to pause installment deductions for 1 to 3 months.
• Once the pause period expires, your SIP resumes automatically without needing fresh KYC or bank mandate setup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Are there any exit penalties for cancelling a Kotak SIP?
No. There are no penalty charges for stopping an ongoing SIP. However, standard exit loads apply only if you redeem/withdraw existing units before the minimum holding period.

Q2. What happens if an installment is debited after submitting the cancellation form?
If the request was submitted less than 15 days before the scheduled debit date, one final installment may go through. The SIP will be stopped from the subsequent cycle.

Q3. How do I verify if my Kotak SIP is cancelled?
You will receive an SMS/email confirmation from Kotak MF. You can also generate an updated Account Statement (CAS) via CAMS or the Kotak portal to verify the SIP status shows “Terminated” or “Cancelled”.
