CAS PDF password: where it comes from and what to do if it fails
A mutual fund CAS from CAMS or KFintech is locked with a password because it holds your PAN and every transaction. The password is not a fixed number: it is the one you typed when you requested the statement.
Where the password comes from
When you request a CAS, the form asks you to set a password for the PDF. That is the password the file opens with. Neither the registrar nor Arthtome can tell you what you chose.
Statements the registrars send on their own schedule use their own password rules, which are explained in the email that carries them. If a statement you asked for will not open, the password you typed in the request form is the one to try.
If the password does not work
Check for a stray space, caps lock or a mix-up between a letter and a digit. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you still cannot open it, the quickest fix is to request a new CAS and set a password you will remember. It is free and takes a couple of minutes.

Common questions
Is the CAS password my PAN or date of birth?
For a statement you request, it is the password you set in the form. Statements the registrars send automatically may use a different rule, described in their email.
I forgot the password. Can it be reset?
A password cannot be recovered from the file. Request a new CAS and set a new password.
Does Arthtome keep my CAS password?
No. It is used once to open the file in your browser and is never stored.
