a) Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 (D) announce Rs.75/- yearly Dividend
b) Principal Personal Tax Saver Fund announces Rs.60 yearly Dividend
c) SBI Magnum Tax Gain Scheme (D) announces Rs.11 yearly Dividend
Then,
Person, who has invested Rs.10,00,000 at today's NAV will get cheque of dividend next year amounting to....
Rs.7,87,500/- (on approx. 10,500 units) from Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 (D)
Rs.6,24,000/- (on approx. 10,400 units) from Principal Personal Tax Saver Fund
Rs.2,00,200/- (on approx. 18,200 units) from SBI Magnum Tax Gain Scheme (D)
Shocked.....ha...ha...ha...
This is called research....
BUT
Dividend pay outs are depend on market performances by fund houses. Many schemes pay dividends. But so many schemes are irregular in paying Dividends every year.
Above 3 schemes are paying dividend continuously since last 3 to 6 years.
If we estimate even half of our Dividend assumption as these MF's will pay next year, then too we will get:
Rs.3,93,750/- (on approx. 10,500 units) from Birla Sun Life Tax Relief 96 (D)
Rs.3,12,000/- (on approx. 10,400 units) from Principal Personal Tax Saver Fund
Rs.1,00,100/- (on approx. 18,200 units) from SBI Magnum Tax Gain Scheme (D)
