For Redemption

In accordance with the communication from the AMFI, the new cut off timings will apply from April 7 to 17, 2020.

Earlier, the cutoff time for liquid and overnight funds was 1:30 PM while for other fund including bonds, equity, and hybrid funds, it was at 3 PM.

Further as due to 3-week nationwide lockdown, AMCs and RTAs are not operational, potential mutual fund investors are advised to take online route either via websites or mobile apps.

Cut off time is a significant parameter for liquid and overnight funds' investors. For long term investors in equity funds, the impact due to change in cut-off timing shall be least.
