All 20 Mutual Fund Basics Returns & Tax Safety & Regulation App & Process 01What is a mutual fund and how does it work?＋ A mutual fund pools money from many investors and a professional fund manager invests that pool into stocks, bonds, or a mix of both. You hold units of the fund in proportion to your contribution, and their value rises or falls with the underlying portfolio. 02What is a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan)?＋ A SIP invests a fixed amount into a scheme on a set date every month rather than all at once. It builds a savings habit and averages your purchase price across market highs and lows over time. 03What is the minimum amount needed to start a SIP?＋ You can start a goal-based SIP on the Sanchay Karo app with as little as ₹500 a month, so you can begin investing without waiting to save up a large amount first. 04What is NAV (Net Asset Value)?＋ NAV is the per-unit price of a scheme, calculated by dividing the total value of its holdings by the number of outstanding units. It is declared once at the close of every trading day. 05What's the difference between SIP and lumpsum investment?＋ A lumpsum puts a larger amount in at once, while a SIP spreads smaller amounts over many months. SIPs reduce timing risk and suit regular income; lumpsum can work well with a long horizon and idle savings. 06How are mutual fund returns calculated?＋ A single lumpsum's return is usually shown as CAGR, the compounded annual growth rate. SIPs use XIRR instead, since it accounts for the timing and size of each separate instalment. 07Are mutual funds risk-free?＋ No. Mutual funds carry market risk and their value can fall as well as rise. Equity funds carry volatility risk while debt funds carry interest-rate and credit risk, so the right mix depends on your goal and risk appetite. 08What is the power of compounding in SIP?＋ Compounding happens when the returns your money earns start generating returns of their own. The longer a SIP runs, the bigger the share of your final corpus that comes from growth rather than your own deposits. 09What are ELSS funds and their tax benefit?＋ ELSS funds are equity schemes with a mandatory 3-year lock-in. Investments up to ₹1.5 lakh a year in ELSS qualify for a deduction under Section 80C, but only under the old tax regime. 10How is long-term capital gains tax calculated?＋ For equity-oriented funds held over a year, gains above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year are taxed at 12.5% as long-term capital gains. Units sold within a year are taxed at 20% as short-term gains. 11What is an exit load?＋ An exit load is a small fee, typically around 1%, charged if you redeem before a scheme's minimum holding period, often one year. It is always disclosed upfront in the scheme document. 12Equity, debt, or hybrid — which fund type fits me?＋ Equity suits long-term goals where you can ride out volatility, debt suits short horizons and capital protection, and hybrid funds blend both for a moderate risk profile. Your in-app risk assessment helps match the right category. 13Is investing through Sanchay Karo safe?＋ Sanchay Karo is an AMFI registered mutual fund distributor (ARN-301757) and routes every order through the NSE MF integrated platform, so transactions run on regulated, traceable infrastructure. 14Where are my mutual fund units actually held?＋ Your units sit directly in your own folio with the fund house and registrar, never with Sanchay Karo. Every holding is reflected on your Consolidated Account Statement from CAMS or KFintech. 15What happens if Sanchay Karo shuts down one day?＋ Your holdings stay completely unaffected, since they sit in your own folio with the AMC and registrar independent of the distributor platform. You could still manage them directly or through another distributor. 16Is Sanchay Karo AMFI/SEBI regulated?＋ Yes. Sanchay Karo is an AMFI registered distributor dealing in SEBI-regulated schemes, and the registration can be independently verified on AMFI's official website. 17How do I complete KYC on the Sanchay Karo app?＋ KYC is fully digital — verify PAN and Aadhaar with an OTP, complete a short video selfie check, and add your bank details. Most investors finish in a few minutes without any paperwork. 18What is mandate registration and why is it needed?＋ A mandate is a one-time, bank-approved authorisation that allows your monthly SIP amount to be auto-debited on the chosen date. It is set up once via secure ENACH and usually activates within 72 hours. 19Can I pause, modify, or stop my SIP anytime?＋ Yes — from the app you can pause a SIP, step it up, change the amount, switch the scheme, or cancel it altogether, with no penalty for doing so. 20How do I track my portfolio and redeem funds?＋ The dashboard shows live NAV, current value, gains, and XIRR for every holding. Redemptions — partial or full — are placed directly in the app and typically credited in 1 to 3 business days.
