1. Dividend Payout Option (Regular Dividend)

  • The mutual fund pays the dividend directly to you.
  • It is credited to your bank account linked to the mutual fund.
  • Example:
    If the fund receives ₹10 lakh in dividends from companies, it distributes part of that to investors based on units held.

⭐ 2. Dividend Reinvestment Option

  • The dividend does not come to your bank.
  • Instead, the fund uses that dividend to buy more units of the same scheme for you.
  • Your unit count increases, but the NAV may adjust after distribution.

⭐ 3. Growth Option (Most Common Today)

  • In growth funds no dividend is paid out at all.
  • All dividends received from stocks are reinvested back into the fund automatically.
  • This increases the NAV over time.
  • You get the benefit when you sell the units.

📌 Important

Mutual funds don’t keep the dividends as profit. They must allocate them based on the scheme you selected (Payout / Reinvestment / Growth).
