Taxation
Taxed as non-equityThis is a non-equity fund — a fund-of-funds, gold/silver, international or balanced-hybrid scheme. It isn't equity-oriented, but since FY 2025-26 it's no longer taxed like a pure-debt fund either: gains held over 1 year get the 12.5% long-term rate; shorter holdings are taxed at your income-tax slab rate.
Added to your income at your slab rate
No indexation, no ₹1.25 L exemption

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 · AMFIAt or near its largest, ₹1,068Cr in July - September 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.

About Index funds & ETFs
Index funds and ETFs must keep at least 95% in the securities of the index they track, 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 and any tracking difference.
