Do I have to pay any entry load for mutual fund purchases made after August 01, 2009 ?
No. Prior to the implementation of the SEBI guideline, an entry load of 2.25% was charged on all Mutual fund purchases. As per the new guidelines issued by SEBI, with effect from August 1, 2009, entry load will not be charged on purchases in existing mutual fund schemes or on schemes launched thereafter . However, any investment made by you in an NFO which was launched prior to August 1, 2009 will continue to attract entry load and other charges as specified in the offer document.
