A Guide on How to Get the Same-day NAV Online for Mutual Fund Investments ​

Right from the little fluctuations in the prices of potatoes and onions to the bigger price differences in the value of cars and gold, Indians pay a lot of attention to the price of a product.And rightly so! The same notion is also applied when it comes to investing in mutual funds online. Many investors place their decisions to invest not just on their risk appetite, their financial goals, and the kind of schemes but alsoon the NAV of mutual funds.As a result, they are looking to get the same-day NAV value with an aim to get maximum benefit.Let us look at how this can be done.

What is the NAV of mutual funds?

The NAV or the Net Asset Value refers to the market value of the securities held by a mutual fund scheme after deducting liabilities like expenses and fees.

A lower NAV enables you to buy more units of a mutual fund. Similarly, when the NAV is higher, you get fewer units of the mutual fund. Let us consider an example where you have an SIP of Rs. 1,000 per month. If the NAV per unit is Rs. 10 in the first month, you will be able to purchase 100 units. However, if the NAV increases to Rs. 20 in the next month, you will only get 50 units.

Since the value of the SIP is pre-determined, the changing NAV value ultimately decides how many units of a mutual funds online scheme you can purchase per instalment.

How to purchase the same day NAV of mutual funds?

As per the circular issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) dated September 17, 2020, there have been some new rules for the purchase of same-day NAV of mutual funds.

  • Equity and debt mutual funds online:To get the same-day NAV of mutual funds, you must submit the application and deposit the money to the mutual fund’s designated bank account before 3:00 PM on any business day. In the case of subscriptions, purchases, or redemption, the cut-off time is before or at 3:00 PM. If the mutual fund house receives the money after the cut-off time, the NAV of the next day will be applied.
  • Liquid and overnight mutual funds online: In case of liquid and overnight funds, the previous day’s NAV of mutual fundswill be applied if the transaction is carried out before the cut-off time. However, if you invest your money after the cut-off time, you will be given the NAV of the next business day minus 1 day.In the case of redemption or switch-outs, the cut-off time is before or at 3:00 PM. Meanwhile, for subscriptions or purchases, the cut-off time is 1:30 PM.

For all types of mutual funds, the money can be deposited to the mutual fund house’s designated bank account using any mode of transaction – online and offline.However, SEBI has also declared by way of regulations that even if you process the transaction before the cut-off time from your end, but the money does not reach the mutual fund house within the laid out cut-off time for any reason, then you will be allotted the units based on the time of day and time of credit receipt .

To sum it up

Although the NAV of mutual fundsis not the end-all and be-all of mutual fund investment, it plays a crucial role in determining your profits. So, being mindful of these rules can help you in your investment decisions and may be able to ensure better profits. You can also use a mutual fund SIP calculator to make well-informed investment choices.
