Expert Guidance on Delays in Systematic Withdrawal Plan Payouts and Investor Rights
Investors facing delays in Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) payouts are advised to treat such delays as delayed redemption payments, since each SWP installment involves redeeming mutual fund units. According to expert Ravi Kumar TV, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandates that redemption proceeds be dispatched within three working days of request acceptance, except in exceptional cases. Delayed payouts may incur interest payable to investors, though mutual fund returns remain market-linked and are not guaranteed by distributors or asset management companies.
