ICICI Prudential Bond Fund
This is the Regular plan of ICICI Prudential Bond Fund — bought through a distributor, whose commission is paid out of its expense ratio. Income is retained in the fund, so it shows up as NAV rather than as a payout.
This scheme hasn’t published a NAV since 24 Apr 2020 — it appears to have been discontinued or merged. Trailing return and risk metrics need recent pricing, so they can’t be computed; only the NAV history and lifetime drawdown are shown below.

Taxation
Taxed as debtThis is a debt / non-equity fund. Since April 2023 there is no long-term or indexation benefit — every rupee of gain is added to your income and taxed at your income-tax slab rate, whatever the holding period.

Applies to capital gains on redemption. Excludes IDCW/dividend tax, STT, surcharge and cess, and pre-2018 equity grandfathering. For research only — consult a tax advisor before filing.
Fund size over time
Quarterly average AUM · AMFIDown +13% from its peak of ₹2,861Cr in January - March 2026. Size matters most where the mandate is narrow — a large small-cap or a very large flexi-cap book is harder to move without moving the price.
Net flow is an estimate: AMFI publishes a quarterly average AUM, not a closing balance, and it covers every plan and option of this scheme together, so it is a read on direction and rough size rather than a cash-flow statement.
