The read
Kotak Mutual Fund is merging two debt index funds, a routine corporate action under SEBI rules. The Kotak Nifty SDL Jul 2026 Index Fund will cease to exist after July 31, 2026, absorbed into the Kotak CRISIL-IBX Financial Services 9 to 12 Months Debt Index Fund. Unitholders who disagree with the change get an exit window from July 2 to July 31 — no exit load on redemptions or switches, though SIPs/SWPs will automatically migrate. For most investors, this is administrative. The key question is whether the surviving scheme still fits your duration and credit risk needs. Check the portfolio before the deadline.
