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 2 years 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
Sets the short-term (slab-rate) figure above.
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, ₹365.37Cr 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.
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.
