What is the Tata Retirement Savings Fund?
The Tata Retirement Savings Fund is an open-ended retirement solution-oriented scheme having a lock-in of 5 years or till retirement age (whichever is earlier). You can buy or sell units of this fund at the current NAV price on any business day. However, this redemption is subject to the following exit load rules:
- If you withdraw after age 60, you will not be charged any exit load.
- If your money is automatically switched out due to a trigger event, no exit load is charged.
- If you withdraw before 61 months from the date you invested, you will be charged 1% of the fund’s NAV value at the time of withdrawal. This rule does not apply if you are already 60 years or older.
Furthermore, the fund does not promise or guarantee returns, and actual market performance may differ from expectations. This fund has three plans to choose from:
