Tips

→ Expense ratio is deducted from NAV daily — even 1% ER compounded over 20 years can reduce corpus by 15–20%.

→ Lump sum beats SIP when deployed at market lows. Use SIP/STP for large amounts during uncertain markets.

→ LTCG ₹1.25L exemption is per year — phased redemptions can harvest this annually to reduce total tax.

→ Debt MF gains are taxed at your income slab. High-income investors should compare vs FD after-tax returns.
