SEBI has launched the Mutual Fund Investment Tracing and Retrieval Assistant (MITRA) to help investors track inactive and unclaimed mutual fund folios. As per . inactive folios may become susceptible to fraudulent redemptions. This initiative aims to enhance investor protection, reduce fraud risks, and build a transparent financial ecosystem.

Over the years, many investors have lost track of their mutual fund investments, particularly those made in physical form with minimal KYC details. Changes in PAN, email ID, or address often prevent these folios from appearing in Consolidated Account Statements, making them susceptible to fraudulent redemptions. MITRA will provide a centralized industry-wide database to help investors identify and retrieve such investments.
