What Happens if a Mutual Fund Scheme or AMC is Suspended or Closed?

If a mutual fund scheme is suspended or closed by its Asset Management Company (AMC), it can affect your ongoing SIPs and existing holdings. These actions are usually taken due to regulatory orders, liquidity issues, fund mergers, or permanent winding-up. 

What Does Suspension or Closure Mean?

  • Suspension: The scheme temporarily or permanently stops accepting new investments, including SIPs. Your existing units remain intact.
  • Closure: The scheme is wound up, all assets are liquidated, and the proceeds are returned to investors based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) at that time.
