Registrars and Transfer Agents (RTAs) perform the important role of
maintaining investor records. All the New Fund Offer (NFO) forms,
redemption forms (i.e. when an investor wants to exit from a scheme, it
requests for redemption) go to the RTA’s office where the information is
converted from physical to electronic form. How many units will the investor
get, at what price, what is the applicable NAV, how much money will he get in
case of redemption, exit loads, folio number, etc. is all taken care of by the
RTA.
