eCAS vs CAS: which one lists your mutual funds?
Both are called consolidated account statements, but they come from different places and cover different holdings. Knowing which one you are looking at tells you whether it will have your mutual fund history.
What an eCAS is
An eCAS is sent by the depositories, NSDL and CDSL, and covers what sits in your demat account: shares, bonds and any mutual fund units held in demat form. It is emailed on a regular schedule when your demat account has activity.
What a CAS from CAMS or KFintech is
A CAS from CAMS or KFintech covers mutual fund folios held in statement form, which is how most SIPs started through fund-house websites and apps are held. A detailed one lists every purchase, SIP instalment, switch and redemption with date, amount, units and NAV.
Which one to use for your mutual funds
For profit and XIRR on funds held in statement form, use a detailed CAS from CAMS or KFintech. If you hold units in demat form too, those appear in the eCAS, and you can add them to the Journal by hand.
