The offices that do most of the work
When people picture "the mutual fund office," they usually imagine a fund house. In practice, most servicing is done by two registrars, CAMS and KFintech, also called registrars and transfer agents, or RTAs. Between them they service almost every fund house in India, which is why their centres handle so much of the day-to-day work.
Which one you use
The choice is not really yours to make; it follows your fund house. Each fund house appoints one registrar, so a request for a given folio goes to whichever registrar services that fund house. Your account statement or the fund house's website will tell you which one.
What they handle
A registrar centre can process a wide range of servicing for the fund houses it serves: KYC, purchases and redemptions, statements, and requests such as a change of bank or address. For a Consolidated Account Statement across all your funds, the registrars are the usual source.
Please verify: the current Kolkata centre addresses, timings and contact details for CAMS and KFintech should be confirmed against their official websites before you rely on it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CAMS and KFintech?

What can I do at a registrar centre?
A great deal of everyday servicing, including KYC, purchases and redemptions, statements, and requests like a change of bank or address, for the fund houses that registrar serves. For a Consolidated Account Statement across all your funds, the registrars are also the usual source.
How do I know which registrar serves my fund?
Check your account statement or the fund house's website, which states its registrar. As a rule, a request for a given folio goes to the registrar that services that fund house. If in doubt, your distributor can tell you.
