3. Additional Important Points
Market Close & NAV Calculation:
- NAV is calculated after market close (3:30 PM IST) based on the closing prices of the underlying securities.
- The NAV is published typically by 9:00 PM (or 11:00 PM on AMFI/AMC websites).
- The NAV applicable to your transaction is always based on the market's closing value for that day or the next business day if the transaction crosses the cut-off time.
Timing Implications:
- Orders placed before 3:00 PM (or 1:30 PM for liquid funds) and with timely realization of funds are eligible for same day’s NAV.
- Orders placed after the cut-off are processed at next business day’s NAV.
- Transactions after market close (post 3:30 PM) will always be based on the next business day's NAV.
Payment & OTP Considerations:
- Use fast payment modes like UPI or net banking from select banks for quicker realization.
- For redemptions, OTP verification must be completed timely to avoid delays.
Holidays & Weekends:
- Orders on non-business days are processed on the next business day, using that day’s NAV.
