Frequently Asked Questions

How are mutual fund returns calculated?

Returns are calculated via NAV change — (current NAV − purchase NAV) / purchase NAV × 100. For time-spanning returns, use CAGR. For SIPs, use XIRR because investments happen at different points. This calculator uses CAGR for both modes.

How are mutual funds taxed in India?

Equity MFs (>65% in Indian equity): STCG (≤12 m) at 20%, LTCG (>12 m) at 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh per FY. Debt MFs (after April 2023): gains fully taxed at slab rate regardless of holding. SWP gains follow the same rule.

What is the difference between direct and regular mutual funds?

Direct plans have lower expense ratio (no distributor commission) — typically 0.5-1% less. Over 20 years this adds 12-20% to your corpus. Use direct plans via AMC websites, MF Central, or platforms like Groww/Coin.

How do I choose a good mutual fund?

Look at 5-10 year CAGR vs benchmark, consistency of returns (not just one year), fund manager tenure, AUM stability, and expense ratio. For beginners: index funds tracking Nifty 50 or Nifty Next 50 are low-cost, diversified starting points.

Is it safe to invest in mutual funds during a market crash?

Historical data shows lumpsum investments at market lows have delivered the highest long-term CAGR. SIP buyers benefit most during falling markets (rupee-cost averaging). Don't stop SIPs during a crash — that locks in losses.
