Who provides your CAS
For demat holdings (shares, bonds, ETFs), the depositories NSDL and CDSL issue a CAS. For mutual funds, the registrars CAMS and KFintech provide a CAS/mailback covering funds across AMCs. Together they give you a near-complete picture.
What it shows and why to read it
Your holdings, their current value, and transactions during the period — a record you can cross-check against what you think you own. Regulators encourage investors to review their CAS to catch anything unexpected early — an unfamiliar transaction, a holding that shouldn't be there — and to keep contact details updated so you receive alerts directly from the depository.
How to get it
You typically receive a CAS by email periodically, and you can request it on demand from the NSDL/CDSL and CAMS/KFintech portals. You'll find quick links to these in the PCJ footer. Reviewing it monthly is one of the simplest habits for protecting your own account.
