Demat mutual fund SWP and STP mandates expand through phased unit-based and amount-based standing instruction facilities. Standing instructions for Systematic Withdrawal Plans and Systematic Transfer Plans are extended to mutual fund units held in demat form. Phase I enables unit-based mandates for periodic redemption of a fixed number of units, while Phase II enables amount-based mandates for fixed periodic payouts or investments in another scheme of the same mutual fund. Depositories act as nodal facilitators, publish a standard framework, make necessary regulatory and system changes, and implement the two phases within the prescribed timelines.
