Built on a mechanism of an ECS mandate, the concept allows a customer to trigger an ECS request from a pre registered bank account through his mobile phone, while the debit and settlement process takes place offline.

According to Jaideep Bhattacharya, chief marketing officer, UTI AMC, an investor to avail this facility has to initially fill in the registration form and submit the same to any of UTI Financial Centres or Karvy offices. Post verification of ECS details the investor will receive a confirmation subsequent to which he can trigger payment instructions from his mobile phone.
