@Bhuvan @nithin @siva could you please comment on where do current investments stand amidst closing of funds?
Current investor has lost his money if he has invested in these schemes,the investor will receive money if whom the money was given,gives any intrest for the same
We’ll create a detailed post on what’s happening after we have complete details on what’s happening
K thanks 
can you make a post regarding liquid funds in depth
Ohh thanks for bringing that into my notice
This is a disaster for shareholders I think. All these schemes I think had the Yes bank Additional Tier 1 Capital bonds that got wipedout. Now they think they cant dig themselves out of the underperformance and they will permanently lose market share. They will most probably merge this into new schemes they will launch which will start new track record. Very gamey …

So, I had some sums in the ultra short fund (stupid, I know 
) for which I had placed a redemption request on Coin. The units were debited from my demat account today but funds not received yet - I will be receiving the full value of my redemption, right? Or does this also somehow get wrapped up under this “lock down” too?
Preliminary update.
No redemptions and purchases will be allowed from tomorrow. All investments in the fund are essentially, for the lack of a better word, locked-in. The AMC will work towards liquidating the holdings and process as and when realized will be passed on to the unit-holders.
This is not going to be the first just "gating " of the bond funds & other funds . In Europe more than 76 such funds were gated (no redemptioons ) in March.
But most of them were real estate funds where they have no cash to pay redemptions. They have to sell assets which are not liquid. Same story in Indian corporate bond funds ( we have so many scams already ) possible.
What happens with the investment?
I have Rs.10k in Franklin Low Duration Fund,
How much time it can take, is there any probability that we may lose our funds completely.
Anyone can help please!
