In mutual funds, this mutual fund redemption process is called redemption. When you withdraw money from a mutual fund scheme, you essentially redeem the units. You sell the units that you own and realise their value at the applicable Net Asset Value (NAV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say you have purchased 10,000 units of a mutual fund scheme. You may redeem or sell a particular number of units or withdraw a particular amount in currency terms. Assuming each unit is priced at Rs. 10, if you want to withdraw Rs. 50,000, you would have to redeem 5,000 units from your mutual fund holding. Similarly, you can choose to redeem 100 units or 9,000 units and withdraw equivalent money from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/how-to-select-mutual-fund-portfolio\/\">mutual fund portfolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types-of-Mutual-Fund-Redemptions\"><\/span>Types of Mutual Fund Redemptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of mutual fund redemption methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Partial-withdrawal\"><\/span>Partial withdrawal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this type, you withdraw money from mutual funds partially. This means that you redeem a part of the investment while the remainder remains invested. The above-mentioned illustration was an example of partial withdrawal wherein you withdrew Rs. 50,000 or a small number of units out of the total 10,000 units or Rs. 1 lakh that was available to you as part of your mutual fund holding. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/systematic-withdrawal-fund\/\">Systematic Withdrawal Plan<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/swp-in-mutual-funds\/\">SWP<\/a>) is a facility offered by mutual funds that allows investors to withdraw a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, etc.) from their existing investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Full-withdrawal\"><\/span>Full withdrawal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A full withdrawal is when you completely sell off your mutual fund scheme, redeeming mutual funds and all the units in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/folio-number\/\">mutual fund folio<\/a> (a unique number assigned to an investment in a mutual fund scheme).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, you withdraw all the money \u2013 your capital and any price appreciation the fund has experienced \u2013 and exit from the scheme. So, in the above example, if you had withdrawn the whole 10,000 units, it would have been a full withdrawal from the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Withdraw-Mutual-Funds\"><\/span>How to Withdraw Mutual Funds?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Withdrawing money from a mutual fund scheme is quite simple. There are various ways to redeem your funds, as described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Through-your-broker-or-distributor\"><\/span>Through your broker or distributor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have invested in the mutual fund scheme through a broker or a distributor, you can withdraw through them. Approach your broker and place a withdrawal request. If you want to withdraw offline, you must fill up and submit a withdrawal request form. The broker would submit the form to the Asset Management Company (AMC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrary, if the broker has an online service through a portal or mobile application, you can redeem online too. Log into your mutual fund account, choose the withdrawal option, and specify the number of units that you want to withdraw. Your withdrawal request will be processed in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Through-the-Asset-Management-Company\"><\/span>Through the Asset Management Company<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can approach AMC directly and redeem your mutual fund scheme. You can visit the branch office of the AMC and submit an offline request for mutual fund withdrawal India, or you can do so online. Just visit the official website of AMC or download its mobile application and request online or offline mutual fund redemption for emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After your request is processed, you will receive the amount either through offline mode (NEFT or cheque) or online mode, depending on the way you have chosen. Usually, the online mode is much faster; you get the amount in a day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Through-the-Registrar-and-Transfer-Agents\"><\/span>Through the Registrar and Transfer Agents<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Registrar and Transfer Agents (R&amp;T Agents) maintain records of every mutual fund transaction on behalf of the fund house. They help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/why-should-you-prioritise-investing\/\">invest<\/a> in mutual fund schemes and also withdraw from them. You can withdraw through R &amp; T Agents like CAMS and Karvy by placing an offline or online request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Through-your-Demat-and-trading-account\"><\/span>Through your Demat and trading account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have invested in mutual fund schemes using a Demat and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-is-a-trading-account\/\">trading account<\/a>, you can withdraw through these accounts as well. Log into your account to check your mutual fund investment, choose the amount that you want to withdraw and submit your request. Once the request is verified, the full redemption of mutual funds will be processed, and the money will be credited to your linked bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When-to-Exit-and-Redeem-a-Fund\"><\/span>When to Exit and Redeem a Fund?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right time to exit or redeem a mutual fund depends entirely on your financial goals. If you have a long-term goal and are invested in a mutual fund for the same (say 10-15 yrs), then regardless of the market conditions, you may stay invested in it for the long term. Hence, once you get close to realising your financial goal, you should consider redeeming the fund units, irrespective of the market state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things-to-Keep-in-Mind-When-Withdrawing-Money-from-Mutual-Funds\"><\/span>Things to Keep in Mind When Withdrawing Money from Mutual Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are withdrawing money from your mutual fund account, two main things should be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-application-of-exit-load-on-withdrawals\"><\/span>The application of exit load on withdrawals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some mutual fund schemes levy an exit load if you withdraw from the scheme within a specified time. For example, say a mutual fund scheme levies an exit load on mutual fund redemption of 2% on full and partial redemption of mutual funds within a year. In such cases, if you withdraw money within the first year of investment, you would have to pay the exit load on the withdrawn amount. Suppose the withdrawal amount is Rs. 1 lakh. You would get Rs. 98,000, subtracting from the exit load, on redeeming the fund. The exit load is applicable regardless of a partial withdrawal or a full withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mutual-fund-redemption-tax-implications\"><\/span>Mutual fund redemption tax implications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual fund redemption for goal achievement is subjected to tax on mutual fund redemption if you earn profits from the transaction. Here\u2019s how the tax liability is determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-is-equity\/\">equity<\/a> funds, returns earned on redeeming mutual fund units within 12 months qualify as short-term capital gains. Such gains are taxed at 15%. On the other hand, withdrawals after 12 months attract Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax. Returns up to Rs. 1 lakh is exempted from tax. Returns exceeding Rs. 1 lakh are taxed at 10%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-are-debt-funds\/\">debt funds<\/a>, withdrawals within 36 months attract short-term capital gains tax. Returns earned in such cases are taxed at your slab rates. Withdrawals after 36 months are subjected to LTCG tax. Returns thus earned are taxed at 20% with the benefit of indexation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are in need of money for immediate use, your mutual fund investments can be a quick source of funds. The advantage of mutual fund investments is that you may redeem them partially or fully, in unit terms or money terms. In that sense, mutual fund investments offer flexibility in terms of offline or online mutual fund redemptions. Understand how to withdraw money from a mutual fund and then withdraw online or offline. However, do keep the exit load and tax implications in mind when redeeming your mutual fund units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-Asked-Questions-About-Mutual-Fund-Withdrawal\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions About Mutual Fund Withdrawal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1671011368946\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-What-is-exit-load-in-mutual-funds\"><\/span><strong><strong>1.
