How to redeem PPFAS units via SelfInvest

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A redemption order from a PPFAS scheme is the standard exit mechanism, and the SelfInvest flow itself is short. What varies, and matters more than the click sequence, is what redemption costs in any given scheme. PPFCF has a tiered exit load on units held less than two years; the Liquid Fund has the seven-day sliding exit load; ELSS units are not redeemable at all until the per-installment three-year lock-in clears; Arbitrage has no exit load. On top of which is the capital-gains tax: equity-oriented schemes use Section 112A LTCG and Section 111A STCG after Finance Act 2024; debt schemes acquired on or after 1 April 2023 are taxed at slab rate regardless of holding period. The order itself is irreversible once cut-off NAV applies.

Exit load cap rule, Indian mutual funds

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The exit load cap rule in Indian mutual fund regulation refers to the suite of provisions under Regulation 52 of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 that govern the maximum exit load an AMC may charge and the mandatory credit of such loads to the scheme rather than to AMC revenues. The most significant milestones in the evolution of this framework are: the abolition of entry loads by SEBI circular dated 30 June 2009; the mandatory credit of exit loads above 1% to the scheme (from 1 October 2012); and the effective cap on exit loads at 1% for all redemptions after one year for equity schemes. These rules are enforced by the SEBI Investment Management Department .

Exit load in mutual funds

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Exit load is a fee charged by a mutual fund to an investor upon redemption of units before a specified minimum holding period has elapsed. It is expressed as a percentage of the redemption amount or the applicable NAV, and it is deducted from the redemption proceeds before the net amount is paid to the investor. Exit loads serve two purposes: they deter short-term redemptions that destabilise the fund’s portfolio and impose transaction costs on remaining unitholders, and they provide a modest income to the scheme that partially offsets redemption-related costs.
