Six things to know about Monthly Income Plans (MIPs)

1) MIPs are schemes created by mutual funds that seek to generate regular income. There is no guaranteed rate of return.

2) MIPs invest primarily in debt instruments, but hold a small portion in equity (between 5 and 35%), to enable growth in investments.

3) Investors can choose from growth and dividend options in an MIP, depending on their need and tax status.

4) Investors choosing a growth option can redeem a part of their units regularly using a systematic withdrawal plan to generate regular income.

5) Withdrawals are subject to capital gains tax, but an investor who falls in the tax-free or low-tax category, can use it to reduce his tax outgo.

6) The dividend distributed by an MIP is tax-free in the hands of the investor, but is given after a dividend distribution tax has been paid directly by fund.
