Systematic Withdrawal Plan turn a corpus into a monthly income.

An SWP is the mirror image of a SIP — instead of investing a fixed amount every month, it withdraws one, while the remaining corpus stays invested and continues to grow. It's a tax-efficient, flexible alternative to annuities or fixed deposits for anyone who needs regular income from their savings.

What is an SWP?

Your corpus keeps working while you draw from it.

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan redeems a fixed number of units (or fixed amount) from your mutual fund investment every month, crediting the proceeds to your bank account, while the rest of the corpus remains invested and continues to earn returns.

Predictable monthly income

A fixed amount credited to your account every month, on a date you choose.

Corpus keeps growing

The un-withdrawn balance stays invested, so a well-structured SWP can outlast a simple drawdown.

Tax efficiency

Only the capital gains portion of each withdrawal is taxed — frequently lower than tax on FD interest at your slab rate.

Full flexibility

Change your withdrawal amount, pause it, or stop entirely, with no penalty or lock-in on regular funds.

Plan features

What's inside a well-structured SWP.

Designed for income stability, not just a withdrawal mechanism.

Fixed or variable withdrawal

Choose a fixed monthly amount, or a variable amount linked to a percentage of corpus.

Hybrid fund structuring

Conservative hybrid or balanced advantage funds are commonly used to reduce volatility of the income stream.

Inflation-adjusted stepping

Withdrawal amount can be stepped up annually to keep pace with rising expenses.

Tax-loss aware withdrawals

Redemption sequencing considers holding period and gains to optimise the tax outcome of each withdrawal.

Frequently asked

Common questions, honestly answered.

A commonly used guideline is 4-6% of corpus per year, assuming a balanced portfolio with moderate long-term returns. We model this against your specific corpus, fund mix and horizon rather than using a one-size-fits-all number.

For many retirees, yes — SWP from a well-structured hybrid/debt fund mix offers better tax efficiency than FD interest (which is fully taxed at your slab rate) and keeps the remaining corpus growing, rather than earning a flat, often inflation-lagging FD rate.

Withdrawing a fixed amount during a market downturn depletes more units than during a rally — this is 'sequence of returns' risk. We mitigate it by keeping a portion of the corpus in stable debt/hybrid funds specifically to fund near-term withdrawals.

Each withdrawal is treated as a partial redemption — only the capital gains portion (not the full withdrawal amount) is taxed, at LTCG or STCG rates depending on the holding period of the units redeemed.

Yes — SWPs on regular open-ended funds can be modified, paused or stopped anytime with the AMC, with no lock-in or penalty (excluding ELSS-linked SWPs, which respect the 3-year lock-in).

Yes — if you already hold units in an eligible fund, we can set up an SWP mandate directly on that holding without needing a fresh purchase.
