Mutual Funds New Rules: Mutual funds are a popular platform for investment at present. People invest in mutual funds in search of better returns. However, the returns received from mutual funds depend on the fluctuations of the market.
Before investing in mutual funds, people must take advice from financial experts and invest only after that.
Market regulator SEBI often makes some changes in the rules of mutual funds. Its purpose behind these changes is to maintain the interest of investors. In the last few years, the popularity of the mutual fund industry has increased a lot among investors. In such a situation, SEBI keeps in mind that some changes or reforms should be made in the rules, so that investors get benefits.
SEBI has made some changes or reforms in the last few months and some are proposed for the future as well. Let us know about those changes, which will have a direct impact on investors.
Cut-off time has changed
SEBI has relaxed the cut-off time for overnight mutual fund schemes this year. From June 1, 2025, the time for offline transactions has been extended to 3 pm. The time for online transactions has been extended to 7 pm.
If transactions are made after these times, they will be processed on the next business day, which may change the NAV (net asset value). Overnight mutual funds invest in government securities for one day, which are considered low risk. SEBI has made this change especially to simplify the process of pledging.
Mutual fund schemes will have to disclose the results of the stress test, so that investors can get a correct idea of ​​the financial position of the scheme. A part of the salary of AMC employees will be invested in the mutual fund scheme. How much money will be invested and in which schemes, it will be decided on their role. This will benefit the employees and investors alike. Indian

Till now, mutual fund investors were informed about the risk parameters of their investment at the end of the month. But now this information will be available within 15 days of every month.
Change in the name of dividend options
The name of dividend option for mutual fund investors will be changed to “Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal”.
Disclosure rules also changed
AMFI and SEBI have changed the disclosure rules keeping in mind the protection of small investors. Investors will have the right to get more clear and detailed information for their investments. This rule will help investors get correct and timely information for their investments.
