1. What is Mutual Fund Redemption Charge?

The Mutual Fund Redemption Charge, also known as exit load, is a fee charged by mutual fund companies when investors redeem their units before a specified period. This charge is designed to discourage short-term trading and cover administrative costs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the redemption charge formula:

\[ \text{Redemption Charge} = \text{NAV} \times \text{Units} \times \text{Exit Load \%} \]

Where:

\( \text{NAV} \) — Net Asset Value per unit (INR)
\( \text{Units} \) — Number of units being redeemed
\( \text{Exit Load \%} \) — Exit load percentage charged by the fund

Explanation: The redemption charge is calculated as a percentage of the total redemption amount (NAV × Units).

3. Importance of Redemption Charge Calculation

Details: Calculating redemption charges helps investors understand the actual amount they will receive after deducting exit loads, enabling better investment planning and avoiding unexpected reductions in redemption proceeds.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the current NAV in INR per unit, the number of units you plan to redeem, and the exit load percentage as specified in the fund's scheme information document. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the typical exit load period for mutual funds?
A: Most equity mutual funds charge exit loads if units are redeemed within 1 year, while debt funds may have shorter or longer periods depending on the fund's objective.

Q2: Are exit loads the same for all mutual funds?
A: No, exit loads vary by fund house and scheme. Always check the scheme information document for specific exit load details.

Q3: How is exit load percentage determined?
A: Exit load percentage is specified in the fund's offer document and typically decreases with the holding period. Some funds may have a sliding scale structure.

Q4: Is exit load applicable on all redemptions?
A: Exit load is usually applicable only if you redeem within the specified lock-in period. After this period, most funds don't charge any exit load.

Q5: Can exit load be avoided?
A: Yes, by holding the investment for the complete exit load period specified in the scheme document. Systematic withdrawal plans may also have different exit load rules.
