Investors have the option to invest (purchase or subscribe to mutual fund units) directly without routing the investment through a distributor (Direct Plan).
The direct plan shall have a lower expense ratio excluding distribution expenses, commission, etc., and no commission shall be paid from such plans.
Mutual funds issue the Statement of Account every month if there is a transaction during the month. It shows for each transaction (sale/re-purchase), the value of the transaction, the relevant NAV and the number of units transacted.
