The minimum application amount will be Rs 1,000 and in multiples of Re 1 thereafter. The amount for additional purchases (including switches) will be Rs 1,000 and in multiples of Re 1 thereafter.

An exit load of 0.25% will be applicable if redeemed on or before 15 days from the allotment date. No exit load will be applicable if redeemed after 15 days from the allotment date.
The maximum total expense ratio (TER) permissible under Regulation 52 (6) (b) will be up to 1%.
The scheme will offer regular and direct plans only with growth options. It will be suitable for investors who are seeking to create wealth over the long term and want investment in equity and equity- related instruments belonging to S&P BSE Healthcare Index.
