I am Joel Jose, representing millions of young Indians. As a Design Thinker , I champion economic growth and financial empowerment through inclusive investment opportunities. This petition is of personal significance to me and millions of young Indians because it supports our claim to the future, our aspiration to be active stakeholders in our nation's economic growth.

Presently, we propose avoiding additional Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures when opening mutual fund accounts. Why should this matter to you? More streamlined processes encourage more people to invest and contribute to our economy. Furthermore, the advancement in digital age and access to the internet in India, backed by a report from IAMAI stating that there are about 504 million active internet users in India as of 2020, can ensure the successful implementation of this initiative.

I urge the Hon'ble Finance Minister to consider this transformational financial reform. Simplifying the investment process can lead to the realization of our vision: achieving a remarkable milestone of 100 crore mutual fund accounts. Please, sign the petition and support the financial empowerment of millions of young Indians.
