KFin Technologies, known as KFintech, is an Indian registrar and transfer agent for mutual funds and listed companies.

Lines used in fake KFin Technologies (KFintech) calls and apps

Caller says an old company has dividends for you and asks for a tax payment
Fake executive wants your DP id and client id to transfer shares
Caller requests an OTP to reactivate your investor id
Voice asks you to pay a small amount to confirm an IPO refund

How to verify it yourself

Company registrars can confirm shareholder records, but any real dividend is paid to the bank account already on record and not after a tax payment to a caller. Look at your demat statement for the shares you hold, and use the official registrar or company website typed by hand for requests. Your DP id and client id should not be given to someone who phones you. IPO refunds return to the same bank account automatically when an application is not allotted.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions

A caller says they are from KFin Technologies (KFintech). Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact KFin Technologies (KFintech) through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can KFin Technologies (KFintech) ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
