Introducing : Transfer Demat Mutual Funds to Dhan

Hi,

I have transferred REGULAR Mutual Funds from another broker to DHAN. They are showing up in my CDSL account and I can also see them in Dhan Demat Holding summary email.

However, I cannot see them on Dhan ios app. I raised a ticket with helpdesk and I was told that DHAN wont show regular mutual funds on their app. Is that correct?

If so, what are my options to redeem them?

Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Team Dhan, @PravinJ

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the service levels I have encountered regarding a relatively trivial technical matter.

I recently transferred my Mutual Fund holdings from another account to my Dhan Demat account. While the units are correctly reflected in my Demat and visible on the Dhan App, they are tagged with a “NAV Missing” status.

When attempting to resolve this via the “+Add” feature, I am redirected to MF Central, which currently displays a maintenance message stating they are moving to a more secure system and that tracking will be “back shortly.” Consequently, I cannot verify the units through that route.

Here is the timeline of my struggle to get this resolved:

  • Initial Contact: I reached out via the Chat option and was directed to email/call customer support.

  • Email Support: I sent a formal email 4 days ago, yet the issue remains unresolved.

  • Telephonic Support: I have followed up twice via telephone. During these calls, I was informed that the matter has been “escalated to a higher authority.”

Frankly, it is baffling that a basic update of NAV values for units already sitting in my Demat requires “higher authority” intervention or a 5-day waiting period. This is a minor data-sync issue that should be handled seamlessly in the backend.

Providing a “fancy” interface is of little value if the core functional experience—viewing the current value of one’s investments—is broken. This has been a truly pathetic client experience.

I expect this to be rectified immediately without further generic excuses about escalations. Please ensure my NAV data is synced and reflected correctly in my portfolio today.

Hi @dvpandya90
I’ve gone through your case - and I understand why this is frustrating. You’re right, seeing “NAV Missing” for units already in your Demat.

Your units are correctly transferred and safely held. This issue is only with the valuation (NAV) display.

For holdings transferred from outside, we fetch valuation data via MF Central. They are currently moving to a new consent-based system, due to which this data is not being fetched reliably - which is why you’re seeing “NAV Missing” and the maintenance message.

We’ve rolled out an updated app version that addresses this. Please update your app from the Play Store/App Store and check again.

If the issue still persists, you can DM me your transaction details or write to help@dhan.co -we’ll get it resolved on priority.

@Saurav.P

Thank you for the response and the clarification regarding the MF Central transition. However, the suggested solution does not resolve the issue.

I am already running App Version 1.0.99 (released on April 21, 2026), and the problem remains exactly as described. Despite being on the latest version, the “NAV Missing” status persists.

Furthermore, please note that I have already shared the full transaction details, including the NAV values, with your team. These holdings are already visible in my portfolio; the only missing piece is the valuation sync. It is frustrating that even with all the necessary data provided and the latest app version installed, the system is unable to display the correct values.

Since the MF Central redirect is still hitting a maintenance wall and the app update has not fixed the display on my end, I request you to manually update these values or provide a definitive fix.

Please look into this on priority. This is a basic data requirement for any investor, and the delay is no longer justifiable.

Hi @dvpandya90

We have updated the values & portfolio is updated

@Saurav.P @PravinJ Thank you for the update. I can confirm that the values are now reflecting correctly in my portfolio.

While I appreciate the resolution, I feel it is important to share some candid feedback. Dhan prides itself on being a tech-savvy, automation-first company. However, the true purpose of technology should be to simplify the user experience and remove hurdles, not create them. In this instance, a process that should have logically taken 5 minutes via automation remained pending for 5 days. Technology should not make trivial issues more complicated.

Furthermore, it has been my consistent experience that raising issues through standard customer support channels takes nearly a week with no results, yet the moment a concern is posted on this forum, it is resolved within 1-2 hours. While I am glad the forum works, it shouldn’t require a public post to get basic support moving.

I’ve certainly learned a lesson here on where to raise concerns to actually get Dhan’s attention. Thank you for finally sorting this out.

Hello @Saurav.P ji. Yesterday, I transferred one of my demat mutual fund from another broker to Dhan through CDSL Easiest. The transaction completed yesterday evening and since today morning the MF showing on my Dhan Portfolio.

In the morning I tried to update the NAV and transactions by using the NAV sync method (MF central) completed the process and waited an hour, nothing updated. Tried again but no result again. After that the automatic NAV sync option not showing. There is only manual NAV add option is showing.

I thought it’s okay, I would update it manually no problem, but there is another issue. I can only add an average price for all of my units. No option to change the date (today date showing). Contact customer care, but didn’t get any satisfactory response.

I was expecting a smooth experience but here the story is different.

But why you want to change the transfer date? It show today by default right or am I missing something?

I think transfer date doesn’t matter for mutual fund. Purchase date matter. That’s why I want to update the units as per purchase date.

Hi @rex575,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

The reason the NAV sync didn’t work immediately is that a Demat transfer involves multiple entities. While CDSL transfers the units instantly, the same transfer also needs to be updated by the Mutual Fund Registrar (CAMS/KFin Tech) before the transaction history becomes available through MF Central. Since your transfer happened only yesterday (29 June), those records were most likely not available yet when you tried to sync.

That’s also why we provide the option to manually add your average purchase NAV, so you don’t have to wait to start transacting or tracking your investment on Dhan.

Regarding the purchase date, CDSL transfers only your holdings (units) and ownership details. It doesn’t transfer your historical purchase transactions or SIP installments.

For example, if you’ve been investing through a monthly SIP for the last 2 years, there could be 24 different purchase transactions, each with a different purchase date and NAV. During the Demat transfer, CDSL only confirms that the total units have moved to your Dhan account it doesn’t share all 24 historical transactions. Because of this, user can’t accurately determine or recreate every original purchase date.

That’s why manual entry currently supports only the average purchase NAV.

Approximately, how long will it take to use NAV sync properly? Actually, I am planning to transfer a few other MFs to my Dhan Demat from another broker.

Many previous posts on this forum Dhan support teams promote NAV sync heavily, stating that it will work like butter, investors can easily update their purchases in a single click after getting the MF on demat. But you explain me a different answer.

In fact, the MF I transferred to Dhan demat, it’s showing on my External MF portfolio on Dhan.

Hi @rex575

Typically, NAV sync should be completed within 4–5 working days after the transfer is completed .

However, this can occasionally take longer because the transferred units first need to be updated by CAMS/KFintech and then made available to MF Central for retrieval. Once those transaction details are available, the sync option should work on Dhan.

In the meantime, you can use the +NAV option to add the average purchase NAV manually, so your invested value and returns can be tracked without waiting for the sync.

Please look into this

Hi @pavz, as checked on our end, both bookmarking and removing bookmarks are working as expected.

Could you please ensure that you’re using the latest version of the Dhan app and try again?
