The fund holds bonds worth Rs 195 crore in DHFL. As per industry sources, if the NCLT resolution goes through in the case of DHFL the fund house could get 42% of the money back.

On September 17, the fund house had increased exit load in the scheme to 5% if investors exited before a year , to prevent new investors from taking advantage of money coming back to the scheme.
