How Applicable NAV works
It is determined by the transaction type, scheme, valid application, cut-off rules and, where required, availability of cleared funds. It is not necessarily the NAV visible when the investor presses a button.
A rupee example
A ₹10,000 purchase at an applicable NAV of ₹25 allots 400 units before any transaction-specific adjustment; a NAV of ₹25.50 would allot about 392.16 units.
The example isolates one idea so the arithmetic is visible. Real outcomes can include taxes, fees, cash-flow timing and market movement that the simplified example does not model.
Why it matters for your family
Understanding applicable NAV prevents a family from treating an order screen as a guaranteed price. Keep the confirmation and investigate unexpected allotment dates promptly.
