How Growth option works
It does not manufacture extra return; it changes how value is retained and realised. The investor receives cash by redeeming units, and tax depends on the applicable rules and holding details rather than on the word growth.
A rupee example
If a ₹20 NAV gains ₹2 and nothing is distributed, the value may be reflected near ₹22 before other portfolio changes, costs and adjustments.
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
Growth can suit accumulation goals because money remains invested, but a family needing cash flow should compare planned redemptions, tax and volatility rather than relying on labels.
