Re: confused between MIN and KYC
MIN and KYC are essentially for the same purpose - for them to ensure that you really exist, can be found at certain address and are not a bad dude. Last year they called it MIN and gave a number. Then they had second thoughts about yet another tracking number and dropped it in favor of using just the PAN number.
If you had applied and got a MIN number last year, just take the acknowledgment for that to the AMC.
