With effect from November 1, DSP BlackRock Mutual will deduct transaction charges on investments. An amount of Rs 150 will be charged for first-time investors for subscriptions above Rs 10,000. For investors who are not first time mutual fund investors with DSP BR, Rs 100 would be deducted on their investments. SIP transactions will undergo this charge if the total commitment towards SIP exceeds Rs 10,000. The charge, though, will be deducted in 3 or 4 instalments. However, there will be no transaction charges if purchases are made directly without any distributor or agent, or transactions are carried out on Stock Exchange Platforms.
