The mutual fund must send redemption funds within 10 Business Days of the redemption date, per SEBI (MF) Regulations. If the redemption funds are not sent out within 10 Business Days, the AMC shall pay open interest of 15% per year or any other rate that SEBI may occasionally specify. Nevertheless, the Mutual Fund will typically make an effort to send the Redemption funds within 1 Business Day after accepting the request.

This product is suitable for investors who are seeking:

Transparency


Every business day, including the day before a holiday, the AMC will calculate the NAVs and disclose the NAV of the Scheme at its conclusion. The NAVs must be disclosed in the manner listed below, per SEBI requirements:

  • Displayed on the website of the Mutual Fund (www.hdfcfund.com)
  • Displayed on the website of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) (www.amfiindia.com).
  • Any other manner as may be specified by SEBI from time to time.

Upon receiving a specific request in this regard, Mutual Fund/AMC will offer unitholders the option of receiving the most recent NAVs via SMS.

Every business day at 11 p.m., AMC must update the NAVs on the Fund and AMFI websites. The causes of any delays in uploading to the AMFI website will be outlined in writing to the AMFI and SEBI. If, for any reason, the NAVs cannot be made accessible before the start of business hours the following day, the Mutual Fund must issue a press statement outlining the situation and stating when it will be able to publish the NAVs.

The Mutual Fund/AMC shall disclose the portfolio of the Scheme (along with the ISIN and other prescribed details) in the prescribed format (i) on a fortnightly basis (i.e., as on the 15th and as on the last day of the month), within 5 days from the end of the fortnight, and (ii) as on the last day of the month/halfyear, i.e., March 31 and September 30, on its website at www.hdfcfund. The Mutual Fund/AMC shall deliver the scheme portfolio monthly and half-yearly statement to unitholders whose e-mail addresses are registered within 10 days of the closure of each month/half-year, respectively.

Every six months, a mutual fund or AMC, will place an ad in the Hindi and English editions of at least two national daily newspapers announcing the availability of the scheme portfolio's half-yearly statement on both their own and the Association of Mutual Funds in India's websites. Upon specific request from a unitholder, Mutual Fund/AMC will provide a physical copy of its scheme portfolio statement, free of charge.

Dematerialization of Units


The option of holding the Units in electronic (dematerialized) form or account statement (non-demat) form would be available to Unitholders. However, units offered under the Daily/Weekly/Fortnightly IDCW Option do not have access to this function (s). Units kept in demat form can be transferred at any time. The applicant must have a beneficiary account with a Depository Participant (DP) of the NSDL/CDSL to hold units in dematerialized form. When purchasing units, they must include the DP's name, ID number, and beneficiary account number on the application form.
