1. What is Mutual Fund Withdrawal Charges?

Mutual fund withdrawal charges consist of exit load and securities transaction tax (STT). Exit load is a fee charged when redeeming mutual fund units within a specified period, typically 0-2% if redeemed within one year. STT is a government tax of 0.001% applicable on redemption of equity-oriented mutual funds.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Charges = Exit Load (0-2\% if <1yr) + STT (0.001\%) \]

Where:

\( Exit Load \) — Applicable only if holding period < 1 year (0-2%)
\( STT \) — Securities Transaction Tax (0.001% fixed)
\( Investment Amount \) — Total amount being redeemed
\( Holding Period \) — Duration of investment in years

Explanation: Exit load is charged only for redemptions within the first year of investment, while STT is applicable on all equity mutual fund redemptions.

3. Importance of Withdrawal Charges Calculation

Details: Understanding withdrawal charges helps investors plan their redemptions efficiently, avoid unnecessary costs, and maximize returns by timing withdrawals appropriately.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter investment amount in INR, holding period in years, and applicable exit load percentage. The calculator will automatically compute exit load (if applicable), STT, total charges, and net amount received.
