My wife had purchased 200 units of UTI-CCGF in the year 1996. I am not sure what is the value as of today and how these can be surrendered? I have the allocation certificate with me. Let me know where these can be submitted and encashed.

Ans: I can definitely help you with information on UTI-CCGF and the surrender process. Here's what you can do:

Find the UTI Investor Service Center: UTI Investor Service Centers handle investor queries and transactions. You can find the center closest to you through a web search for "UTI Investor Service Center near me" or on the UTI website https://www.utimf.com/.

Contact UTI: Alternatively, you can contact UTI's customer care for assistance. Their phone number and email address should be available on the UTI website.

Documents Required: Have the following documents ready when you contact UTI:

Allocation certificate mentioning the investment in UTI-CCGF.
Proof of identity (your wife's ID proof)
Proof of address (your wife's address proof)
Bank account details (where you want the redemption proceeds to be deposited).
UTI Investor Service Center or customer care can give you the updated value.

Surrender Process: The UTI Investor Service Center or customer care will guide you through the surrender process. It typically involves submitting a redemption request form along with the required documents. The funds will then be credited to your bank account within the specified processing timeframe.

Since the investment was made in 1996, it's possible the scheme might have undergone mergers or restructurings. UTI Investor Service Center can clarify this and guide you accordingly.
