Website Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions establish the rules governing the use of our website, investment services, and digital platform. They are designed to ensure transparency, security, and compliance with applicable regulations.

1. Mutual Fund Website Terms

When using our online investment portal, users agree to the following conditions.

Market Risk Disclaimer

Platforms explicitly state that investments are subject to market risks, and neither past performance nor the principal investment is guaranteed.

Applicable NAV

T&Cs outline the strict cut-off times (e.g., 1:30 PM or 3:00 PM depending on the fund type) used to determine the Net Asset Value for your purchase or redemption.

Charges & Commissions

The site will detail their expense ratios, exit loads (fees for withdrawing early), and any commissions received as an intermediary.

Mandatory Disclosures

By accepting the T&Cs, you agree that you have read the Scheme Information Document (SID) and acknowledge that you are legally bound by SEBI regulations.

2. Chit Fund Website (State-Regulated ) Terms

If you are engaging with a registered chit fund online, T&Cs focus on localized rules and operations:

Registration & Eligibility

You must be an Indian citizen of legal age (18 or 20+, depending on the company) to join groups, requiring explicit KYC (Aadhaar, PAN)

Auction & Bidding Rules

The agreement defines the bidding processes, such as the maximum discount rate a subscriber is willing to take, and confirms that the foreman's decision in a bidding dispute is final.

Payment & Default

It highlights the timeline for paying your monthly installments and the penalties or legal actions enforced if a member defaults on payments.

Prize Claim

Outlines how the prize money is distributed (by lot or auction) after each collection and what documents are required to claim it.

Mutual Funds vs Chit Funds

A quick comparison between Mutual Funds and Chit Funds.

Feature Mutual Funds Chit Funds
Regulation Regulated by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India). Regulated by state governments under the Chit Funds Act, 1982.
Liquidity Highly liquid; open ended funds can usually be redeemed anytime (subject to exit loads). Locked liquidity; you get your lump sum only when you win the bid or by lottery during the tenure.
Risk Factor Volatile and tied to market performance (equity, debt). Depends on the financial reliability of other group members and the company's management.
Important Notice

Users are advised to carefully understand all investment products, risks, fees, regulatory requirements, and eligibility conditions before making financial decisions.

3. Cyber Security Terms & Conditions

Website Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) form a legally binding contract protecting company's intellectual property, defining acceptable user behavior, and limiting liability. While not strictly a legal mandate, they are critical for managing disputes and shielding your business from cyber liabilities and malicious third-party attacks. To build comprehensive, enforceable, and localized terms, your T&Cs should include the following core sections:

State the specific legal jurisdiction governing the T&Cs (e.g., laws of India, governed by the courts in Satara, Maharashtra).

Termination of Access

Retain the right to immediately suspend or terminate access for any user who violates your security or usage rules.

Implementation Tip

Make sure your T&Cs are prominently displayed (typically in the website footer) and require users to click an "I Agree" button or tick a box during account creation or checkout to make the agreement enforceable.
