Which HDFC Mutual Fund Schemes Are Affected?
According to an addendum to the Scheme Information Document (SID) and Key Information Memorandum (KIM), the temporary restrictions apply to the following schemes:
- HDFC Gold ETF Fund of Fund
- HDFC Gold Silver Passive FOF
The addendum, dated 15 October 2026, states that subscriptions received after the 3:00 PM cut-off time on the effective date will be subject to the restrictions outlined in the notice. The restrictions will remain in force until further notice.
What Transactions Are Temporarily Restricted?
The addendum specifies two categories of transactions that will be temporarily restricted under the affected schemes:
- Fresh subscriptions and switch-ins: New subscription requests and switch-in transactions will be restricted under the stated terms.
- Fresh systematic registrations: New registrations for systematic transactions will also be restricted.
The document does not provide a date for lifting these restrictions. Investors should therefore refer to further announcements from HDFC Mutual Fund for updates.
Will Existing Systematic Transactions Continue?
Yes. HDFC Mutual Fund has clarified that existing systematic transactions registered or received before the effective date will continue to be processed under the schemes.
This means the temporary restriction on fresh systematic registrations does not, according to the addendum, stop the processing of systematic transactions that were already registered or received before the effective date.
Are Redemptions Allowed Under These Schemes?
Yes. The addendum explicitly states that there will be no restrictions on redemptions.
Investors can continue to submit redemption requests under the schemes, subject to the applicable scheme terms and procedures. The notice does not announce any change to the existing redemption provisions.
Will Other Scheme Terms and Conditions Change?
No other changes are specified in the addendum. HDFC Mutual Fund has stated that all other terms and conditions of the affected schemes will remain unchanged.
The addendum will form an integral part of the Scheme Information Document (SID) and Key Information Memorandum (KIM), as amended from time to time.
