Meanwhile, the HDFC Mid Cap Fund will distribute ₹5.00 per unit on the face value of ₹10 under the regular and direct plans, IDCW option (payout and reinvestment).

What is IDCW?

The Income Distribution Cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) option is a Mutual Fund plan that allows investors to receive regular payouts and also provides the flexibility to partially withdraw the capital if necessary.

Under the IDCW scheme, investors can receive regular income from their Mutual Fund investments.

Before April 2021, this was referred to as the "dividend option." In April 2021, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) directed Mutual Fund houses to change the name from 'dividend option' to 'Income Distribution Cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW)' to prevent confusion between dividends earned on stocks and those from Mutual Funds.
