The Exit load for a mutual fund is reduced from the NAV. Say, the current NAV is Rs.75/- so 1% of Rs.75 is Rs.0.75/- per unit.
When you redeem the units, the units will be redeemed at the NAV of 74.25 (75-0.75) per unit instead of the NAV of 75.
Exit load is calculated for each investment/SIP done and as per the exit load mentioned in the factsheet for the month, when the fund has been purchased.
Here is an example to understand exit loads and what happens when the AMC decides to change the exit load applicability of a scheme :
| Factsheet | Exit load |
|---|---|
| Jan-20 | 1% if redeemed before 1 year i.e 365 days from the date of allotment |
| Feb-20 | 1% if redeemed before 1 year i.e 365 days from the date of allotment |
| Mar-20 | 1% if redeemed before 1 Month i.e 31 days from the date of allotment |
| Apr-20 | 1% if redeemed before 1 Month i.e 31 days from the date of allotment |
| May-20 | 1% if redeemed before 1 Month i.e 31 days from the date of allotment |
The below units that were purchased are redeemed on 5th May
| Calculation/details | Rs. |
|---|---|
| NAV as on 5th May | 50 |
| Amount creditable before exit load ( 50 (NAV)* 253 units) | 12650 |
| Avg NAV = Total amount/no of units | 49.925 |
