Taxed as equity

This is an equity-oriented fund (≥65% in Indian equities), so gains get the concessional capital-gains rates below — they do not add to your income-tax slab.

20%
Held under 1 year

Flat, on the whole gain

Long-term (LTCG)
12.5%
Held 1 year or more

On gains above ₹1.25 L per financial year

Measured on this fund’s own NAV history, peak to trough to the day it regained the peak. Falls shallower than 5% are left out. A recovery date is when the NAV got back, not when any particular investor did — that depends on when they bought.

Fund size over time

Quarterly average AUM · AMFI
₹53,661Cr
April - June 2026
+1%
since January - March 2026

At or near its largest, ₹53,661Cr in April - June 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.

Returns and risk are computed from NAV history and may differ slightly from other portals due to methodology (rolling vs point-to-point, dividend treatment). For research only — not investment advice.

About Index funds & ETFs

Index funds and ETFs simply track a benchmark such as the Nifty 50 rather than trying to beat it. They charge far lower fees than active funds, and their return is the index's return minus that small cost.
