Payments for Mutual Fund (MF) – NFO’s, Liquid Funds, Equity, Debt & International funds etc. including lump sum and SIP:

Modes of Payments:

You can transfer the funds using UPI, net banking and IMPS/NEFT/RTGS and/or any other mode as may be approved by MERRY MIND from time to time.

1. Payment Gateway provided by Exchange

MERRY MIND employs a third-party payment gateway to facilitate money transfers, and completed transactions cannot be cancelled. The User must use their own bank account, or the transaction may be rejected. In case the credit is not visible in the User's account immediately after transferring funds through the instant payment gateway, the User must wait at least 24 hours for the funds to reflect in the account. MERRY MIND does not accept cash or demand deposit as payment.

You can transfer funds using UPI. You may initiate the payment from our website/mobile application.

MERRY MIND utilizes exchange payment gateway services to provide users with bank transfer functionality. This involves sharing the user's bank account information with the payment gateway, which is done only after the user gives consent while enabling the Bank Transfers feature. This enhances the user's experience and enables MERRY MIND to verify the funds transferred by the user from their registered bank accounts.

If the bank account used to transfer funds is not registered with MERRY MIND or does not belong to the user, the Payment Gateway provider will initiate a refund on the same day, subject to credit realization. The turnaround time for payment gateways and banks can vary up to 7-10 working days.

Users can use the net banking facility to transfer funds, which can be initiated through MERRY MIND's app/website. It is advisable for users to use their own Net Banking Account while transferring funds. MERRY MIND shall not be responsible for any failed or pending transactions or fraudulent use of Net-banking in any way. Any fraudulent transaction or attempt shall be subject to legal action under the relevant section of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). In case of a failed transaction, the user may be charged by their bank, and MERRY MIND shall not be liable for any such charges.

MERRY MIND offers different recurring payment options through mandates, which are applicable to all products provided by the company. Only verified bank accounts are registered for bank mandates. MERRY MIND is not responsible for failed or pending transactions resulting from approved mandates. If there are any modifications in account details or a closed account, users are responsible for updating the mandates. Users must abide by the disclaimers and terms and conditions of third-party service providers and payment gateway disclaimers. Although MERRY MIND takes reasonable care to protect against unauthorized data use, the company cannot guarantee that using its services will not lead to data theft or unauthorized use. Users are responsible for ensuring the transaction's success and accept the risk and responsibility by agreeing to these terms and conditions.

MERRY MIND has taken reasonable measures to safeguard against unauthorized use of user's transmitted information. However, MERRY MIND cannot guarantee that its services will be free from theft and/or unauthorized use of data over the Internet. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the transaction's success. By accepting these terms and conditions, the user acknowledges that the use of the online payment service is entirely at their own risk and responsibility.

2. Mutual Fund Transactions

MERRY MIND endeavors to process transaction requests for Mutual Funds to the best of its ability. The requests will be processed according to the business rules and cut-off times in effect. However, MERRY MIND cannot guarantee the processing of these requests in the event of system failures on its end. If any system failure occurs with the RTA/AMC/Payment Gateway Provider/Bank, MERRY MIND and its users will rely on the fallback provided by the respective service provider. This disclaimer must be read in conjunction with payment settlements. Users acknowledge that MERRY MIND serves as an intermediary for facilitating financial transactions and is subject to the capabilities and timelines of AMCs/RTAs/Payment Service Providers/Banks involved in the said transactions.

For Mutual Funds, MERRY MIND will make a best effort to send the transaction request to the RTA (acting on behalf of the respective AMCs). The processing of the request will be handled according to the existing business rules at the RTA. If there are any system failures at MERRY MIND, we will endeavor to process the request as soon as possible but we cannot guarantee this. In case of system failures at the RTA, PML and its users will rely on the fallback provided by the RTA. Users should note that PML acts as an intermediary between the user and the AMC for the purpose of facilitating Non-Financial Transactions. MERRY MIND is limited by the capabilities and timelines provided by the AMCs / RTAs for such non-financial transactions.

For Mutual Funds, MERRY MIND will provide transaction data to each RTA (on behalf of respective AMCs) in a format agreed upon by both parties, and the transaction will be processed by the RTA according to existing business rules. Confirmation of each transaction's status will be received by MERRY MIND from the RTA in a format mutually agreed upon with the RTA and AMC. Transaction processing time and business logic are beyond the control of MERRY MIND.

The user understands that MERRY MIND is only acting as a platform. User enters into a bilateral relationship with AMC / Mutual fund when he places and orders with the relevant AMC, or any entity acting as a collection agent on its behalf.

3. Settlements

The settlement to the respective bank account(s) is done by the Banks and Exchange Payment Gateway and will be done on a best effort basis as per their timelines. The applicable Net Asset Value (NAV) for the purchase of units of mutual fund will be subject to realisation and availability of funds in the bank account of AMC/Trustee before the applicable cut-off timings, as specified by AMFI/SEBI for Mutual Funds, regardless of the amount of investment, and according to the business logic at the corresponding RTA. The settlement for both lumpsum and SIP in Mutual Funds will be the same depending on the mode of payment.

MERRY MIND has tied up with Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Star MF platform to process Mutual Fund orders, such as Buy/Purchase/SIP, and forward them to the relevant Asset Management Companies ("AMC") or their authorized Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) for processing. The Payment Gateway on the MERRY MIND website/app for investing in Mutual Funds is also provided by the BSE Star MF platform.

To facilitate your Mutual Fund order and Payment processing, MERRY MIND will share your details, such as PAN, Address Details, Bank Details and Documents, Signature, etc., with the BSE Star MF platform, and these records may be used to authorize the transactions you submitted. MERRY MIND and BSE will send messages regarding your orders/investments/portfolio/new schemes, etc., to the Mobile Number and email ID you provided, and this consent will override any registration for the Do Not Call ("DNC")/National Do Not Call ("NDNC") registry.

The MERRY MIND platform is an order collection platform and does not provide any form of advisory services. MERRY MIND does not provide tips, advisory, solicitation, opinions, or portfolio management services related to buying, selling, and trading any mutual funds in any manner.

If for any reason the bank/payment transfer transaction for mutual fund purchases is not completed, and units are credited to you, MERRY MIND reserves the right to take action to recover the owed amount. Your personal information may be processed by third parties, such as BSE Star MF, RTA's, and AMC's, to provide services and marketing materials. By using the platform, you agree to these terms.

The money debited from your MERRY MIND trading account for mutual fund transactions will be credited/transferred to the respective Mutual Funds either on the same day or the next working day, depending on the order's cut-off time. There may be a time lag in transferring/crediting the money to the Mutual Fund account, and units will be allotted, redeemed or switched at the NAV prevalent on the transaction request date. If the request falls due on a holiday or after the cut-off time, it will be processed on the next working day, and the applicable NAV will be per the Mutual Fund's Scheme Information Document. You must maintain a clear balance in your account to cover the purchase price and other costs and charges. MERRY MIND and its representatives will not be liable for any variances in values arising from delayed data feeds, transmission losses, or electronic fund transfer issues.

If the bank account provided by you at the time of registration with the RTA of the schemes is on the list of banks with which the Mutual Fund has a direct credit arrangement, then redemption proceeds and dividend payouts will be credited directly to your bank account by the AMC. The list of such banks is available in the Scheme Information Document or Key Information Memorandum (KIM) cum common application form of the respective Mutual Fund. However, please note that applicable exit load or any other charges levied by the Mutual Funds/AMCs will be chargeable in accordance with the Scheme Information Documents (SID) / Key Information Memorandum (KIM) and addendums issued from time to time. Therefore, it is your responsibility to read the scheme related documents before investing.

Price Data & NAV
