Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP)

Definition:
An SWP allows you to withdraw a fixed amount from your mutual fund investment at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, etc.).


How It Works – यह कैसे काम करता है

  1. Invest a lump sum – Pehle aap ek baar me mutual fund me ek bada amount invest karte ho.
  2. Set withdrawal amount – Decide karein kitna paisa har mahine ya quarter nikalna hai (e.g., ₹5,000 per month).
  3. Automatic withdrawal – Har interval par wo paisa aapke bank account me transfer ho jaata hai.
  4. Units redemption – Har withdrawal par mutual fund ke kuch units sell ho jaate hain.

Key Benefits – मुख्य फायदे

  1. Regular Income:
    • Retired logon ke liye best option hai — monthly income jaisi facility milti hai.
  2. Tax Efficiency:
    • Fixed deposits se better, kyunki sirf redeemed units pe capital gains tax lagta hai.
  3. Flexibility:
    • Aap kabhi bhi withdrawal amount ya frequency change kar sakte ho.
  4. Growth Continues:
    • Baaki paisa mutual fund me invested rehta hai, jo grow karta rehta hai.

Example – उदाहरण

Suppose you invest ₹10 lakh in a balanced mutual fund and set up an SWP of ₹10,000 per month.

  • Har mahine ₹10,000 aapke account me aayega.
  • Bacha hua amount fund me invested rahega aur grow karega.
  • Is tarah aapko regular income + investment growth dono milta hai.
