• Both Regular and Direct plan variants, as well as Growth and IDCW Payout options, are affected.

Affected Schemes

Regulatory Changes

No new regulatory changes introduced. This notice is a standard operational procedure for closed-ended mutual fund schemes reaching their scheduled maturity date, as per existing BSE listing and trading regulations for mutual funds.

Compliance Requirements

• Trading members must immediately cease all dealings in the 7 listed Nippon India Fixed Horizon Fund schemes effective April 10, 2026.
• Members should update their systems to prevent any buy or sell orders in the aforesaid scrip codes (543690, 543691, 543692, 543887, 543888, 543889, 543890) from April 10, 2026 onwards.

Important Dates

• April 09, 2026: Notice issued by BSE.
• April 10, 2026: Trading suspension effective date for all 7 listed schemes (maturity/redemption date).

Impact Assessment

The impact is limited and operational in nature. These are closed-ended fixed horizon mutual fund schemes that have run their course and are now maturing. Investors holding units in these schemes will receive redemption proceeds as per the fund’s terms; no secondary market trading will be permitted after April 9, 2026. Trading members need to ensure compliance to avoid any inadvertent transactions in these schemes. There is no broader market disruption expected.
