Mutual Fund · SWP
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.

FAQs
Frequently asked
questions.
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.
