The majority of us participate in various subscription-based services, such as broadband, newspapers, magazines, over-the-top (OTT) platforms, and other similar offerings, for which we are required to make recurring payments, most commonly on a monthly basis. In today’s world, such invoices can be issued & paid automatically by programming “standing instructions” into a credit or debit card or a bank account. This guarantees that the membership fees will be paid in whole and on time, allowing us to continue using the services without any interruptions.
Developing a habit of investing on a consistent basis through the use of SIPs is a smart practice for personal finance. Whenever you set up SIPs, you will need to remind yourself on a regular basis to make the money transfer on the date that was previously determined. With the introduction of e Mandate registration, there is becoming a more convenient way to guarantee that your SIPs will be financed at the appropriate time.
You are able to plan automatic payments from your bank account to be used for your investments, mutual fund SIPs, and other similar purposes through the use of e-Mandates.
What is meant by the term “e-Mandate” registration?
E-Mandate is an online payment system that was developed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Its primary function is to facilitate the processing of regular payments with as little interaction from humans as possible. It is now one of the ways mandated by the RBI for processing different subscription payments, such as those for streaming services like Netflix, electronic magazine and journal subscriptions, and other similar types of payment transactions.
An e mandate registration is a totally paperless procedure in which the customer instructs their bank to automatically take a certain sum from their account on the due date of a recurring payment, such as a subscription bill.
In most cases, a systematic investment plan (SIP) has to be enrolled with the mutual fund by filing a SIP form that has been fully and accurately filled out with all of the pertinent information. After that, a voided check and the bank mandate need to be presented to the bank in order to complete the transaction. After the bank has validated these papers, the Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) transaction will then be considered for e mandate registration.
After the ECS has been registered, the mutual fund will formally begin the SIP account, and then the investor’s bank account will be debited on a monthly basis on a predetermined date in order to finance the SIP. The process as a whole is time-consuming, and the period of time required to register the SIP might range somewhere between 20 to 25 days.
An easier and more time-efficient alternative would be to establish a SIP for a mutual fund using the eNACH Mandate system.

Conclusion
Investors and distributors of mutual funds both stand to benefit tremendously from the E-Mandate registration feature, which was recently implemented. The fact that it speeds up the processing while simultaneously reducing the amount of work involved is the feature that stands out as the most beneficial. At the very least, for individual investors, the E-Mandate has to be a significant driver of change in a country like India, which has a very young but rapidly expanding SIP industry.
