Question: A mutual fund scheme has total assets of ₹50 crore and total liabilities of ₹2 crore. The fund has 4 crore units outstanding. What is the NAV?
NAV = (₹50 Cr − ₹2 Cr) ÷ 4 Cr units
NAV = ₹48 Cr ÷ 4 Cr
NAV = ₹12 per unit
Question: Ramu invests ₹1,000 per month in an equity fund. NAV in Jan = ₹20, Feb = ₹25, Mar = ₹10. How many units does he accumulate and what is average cost?
Feb: ₹1,000 ÷ ₹25 = 40 units
Mar: ₹1,000 ÷ ₹10 = 100 units
─────────────────────────────
Total invested: ₹3,000
Total units: 50 + 40 + 100 = 190 units
Average cost per unit: ₹3,000 ÷ 190 = ₹15.79
Question: Meena bought equity mutual fund units at ₹100 NAV (1000 units) on 1 Jan 2024. She sells at ₹140 NAV on 15 Feb 2025 (held 13.5 months). Calculate her tax.
Sale value: 1000 units × ₹140 = ₹1,40,000
Capital Gain: ₹1,40,000 − ₹1,00,000 = ₹40,000
Holding period: 13.5 months (>12 months) → LONG TERM
LTCG exemption: ₹1.25 Lakh per year
Taxable LTCG: ₹40,000 (less than ₹1.25L) → ₹0 tax!
Question: Kumar submits a purchase application for an equity mutual fund at 2:45 PM on Monday. Which NAV will be applicable?
Kumar's submission time: 2:45 PM
2:45 PM < 3:00 PM → Before cut-off
Rule: Funds received before 3 PM → SAME DAY NAV
Question: 65-year-old retired government employee Gopalakrishnan approaches you. He has ₹10 Lakh savings, needs ₹8,000/month income, and says "I cannot afford any losses." Which fund is MOST suitable?
Age: 65 (retired, no salary income)
Need: Regular monthly income
Suitable options ranked:
1. Post Office MIS → safe, monthly income
2. SCSS → safe, quarterly income
3. Short Duration Debt Fund → low risk
❌ NOT suitable: Equity fund (high risk for retiree)
These formulas appear directly in NISM V-A exam. Practice calculating with pen and paper at least 3 times each.
Net Amount = Redemption Value − Exit Load
n = number of years
Net Redemption = Redemption Value − Exit Load Amount
(TER deducted daily from NAV)
P = monthly SIP, r = monthly rate, n = months
Only if holding > 12 months
