The switch out shall be processed for 75,000 units, applying FIFO logic (i.e., 50,000 units from existing holdings and 25,000 units from the recent purchase), irrespective of valuation (gain/loss) on the switch out date.
- In cases where an investor makes a fresh purchase under the “NFO SMART Switch” plan, all purchased units shall be considered for switch out, irrespective of valuation (gain/loss) on the switch out date.
Illustration 2:
An investor makes a fresh purchase of ₹1 lakh (approximately 75,000 units). The switch out shall be processed for 75,000 units, irrespective of valuation on the switch out date.
- Orders that are rejected or pending final allotment at the RTA level shall not be considered for switch reporting.
- If an investor executes a partial or full redemption/switch out prior to the SMART NFO switch being triggered to the AMC/RTA, and the investment balance falls below the SMART Switch amount as on September 01, 2026 (i.e., the last day of NFO closure), such transactions shall not be considered for processing at the AMC/RTA level.
