Mutual fund investing on FYERS is cost-efficient and transparent. While there are no platform fees for purchasing mutual funds, certain regulatory charges and transaction-level costs do apply. Here’s a breakdown of stamp duty, DP charges, and how to view fund-level expenses like the expense ratio.
Are There Charges for Buying Mutual Funds?
- There is no fee charged by FYERS for purchasing mutual funds—whether through SIPs or one-time investments.
- All plans available on FYERS are direct plans, which come with the lowest expense ratios and no distributor commissions.
Is Stamp Duty Applicable?
Yes, stamp duty is charged as per government regulations on all mutual fund purchases, including SIP instalments and switch-ins.
- Rate: 0.005% of the investment amount (not the NAV)
- Applies to: One-time investments, SIPs, dividend reinvestment, and switch-ins
- Does not apply to: Redemptions or withdrawals
Example: For a ₹10,000 investment, ₹0.50 will be deducted as stamp duty before units are allotted.
Stamp duty is processed by the registrar (RTA) and is shown in your transaction statement and contract note.
Are There Any Charges When Redeeming Mutual Funds?
Yes, a Depository Participant (DP) charge applies when you redeem (sell) mutual fund units:
- ₹12.5 + 18% GST per ISIN per redemption
- Charged only at the time of redemption—not for holding or purchasing
- This is a standard charge across Demat platforms and is auto-deducted
