💬 WhatsApp Free AdvisoryFrequently Asked Questions
Kya ELSS funds pe loan mil sakta hai?
Generally nahi. ELSS funds ka 3-year lock-in period hota hai 80C deduction ke liye — is duration me units locked hote hain, isliye pledge nahi ki ja sakti. Lock-in expire hone ke baad eligible ho jate hain.
Margin call kya hota hai LAMF me?
Agar equity MF NAV gir jaye aur LTV ratio increase ho jaye (loan amount > 50% of MF value), lender 'margin call' karta hai — additional units pledge karne ya partial repayment karne ke liye. Yeh equity MF ka inherent risk hai.
Interest kaise charge hoti hai?
Overdraft model me — sanctioned limit ka sirf utilized portion pe interest charge hota hai monthly. Example: ₹5 lakh limit, ₹2 lakh utilize → interest sirf ₹2 lakh pe.
Kya kisi bhi AMC ki MF pe loan mil sakta hai?
Most lenders ki eligible AMC list hoti hai — major fund houses cover hote hain. Verify karo specific lender ke saath. Some boutique/new AMCs eligible nahi ho sakti.
Tenure renewal kaise hoti hai?
LAMF typically renewable overdraft hota hai — annual renewal possible. Lender ki periodic review hoti hai (NAV checks, etc.). Tenure bank-specific (1-3 years common).
Direct AMC se loan milta hai kya?
Some AMCs (major asset management companies) directly LAMF offer karte hain through partner banks/NBFCs. Independent banks/NBFCs bhi available hain — multiple options compare karo.
