The updates primarily impact the Annual Scheme Recurring Expenses (ASRE) and Total Expense Ratios (TER) outlined in key documents such as SIDs and KIMs, while all other scheme features remain unchanged.

Quant Mutual Fund: Revised annual scheme recurring expenses

Quant Mutual Fund has issued notice-cum-addendums to its Scheme Information Documents (SIDs), Investment Strategy Information Documents (ISIDs), and Key Information Memorandums (KIMs). The revisions focus on the ASRE sections, and all other provisions remain intact. The addendum forms an integral part of the official documents and should be read together with the SID and KIM.

JM Financial AMC: Updated expense ratio limits

Similarly, JM Financial Asset Management (AMC) has revised the Base Expense Ratio (BER), along with the investment management and advisory fees across its schemes. The changes will come into effect on April 1, 2026, and do not impact any other terms or conditions in the SIDs or KIMs.

ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund: Changes in recurring expenses

ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has also updated the ASRE sections in its SIDs, ISIDs, and KIMs for all relevant schemes and investment strategies. The revisions are effective from April 1, 2026, and all other features of the schemes remain unchanged.

Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC: Total expense ratio adjustments

Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC has revised the Total Expense Ratio (TER) for its schemes, effective April 1, 2026. Apart from these adjustments, all other terms and conditions in the SIDs and KIMs remain the same.

Investors should note that only the expense structures have been revised. The notice-cum-addendums are an official part of the SIDs and KIMs and should be reviewed alongside them. Investors should check these updates with their respective fund houses before making any investment decisions.

Baroda BNP Paribas Mutual Fund: Expense ratio revision

Baroda BNP Paribas AMC has announced changes to the Scheme Information Document (SID), Key Information Memorandum (KIM), and Statement of Additional Information (SAI). In line with the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026, the computation of expense ratios will be revised from April 1, 2026. Relevant sections in the documents will be updated, while all other scheme features remain unchanged.

PGIM India Mutual Fund: Updates to scheme documents

PGIM India AMC will implement changes to SIDs and KIMs across all existing schemes, effective April 1, 2026, in accordance with the new SEBI regulations. Apart from these updates, all other terms and conditions of the schemes will continue as before.

Invesco Mutual Fund: Changes in recurring expenses

Invesco Mutual Fund has revised provisions related to expenses charged to schemes under the ‘Annual Scheme Recurring Expenses’ section of SIDs. The changes will take effect from April 1, 2026, with corresponding updates in SIDs and KIMs. Other scheme features remain unchanged.

Edelweiss Mutual Fund: TER framework restructured

Edelweiss AMC has announced revisions to the Total Expense Ratio (TER) framework following SEBI’s updated regulations. The changes, effective April 1, 2026, will be reflected in the SIDs and KIMs, while all other terms of the schemes remain the same.

SEBI has approved the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026, a comprehensive overhaul of the nearly three‑decade‑old framework, with the changes taking effect from April 1, 2026. The updated rules introduce a clearer expense ratio framework, renaming the Total Expense Ratio to Base Expense Ratio (BER) and separating out statutory and brokerage costs for greater transparency.
