Options

    Correct answer

  3. C

    It should be updated directly with the Mutual Fund

  4. D

    It can be updated with any of the three options provided

Why this is the answer

Changes in the investor's status, such as becoming a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), must be updated with the KYC Registration Agency (KRA) as part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This ensures that the KYC records are updated for proper regulatory compliance.
