Commission delays are a real concern, and new systems often bring some initial hiccups.
But if an experienced mutual fund distributor spends the entire previous month’s commission with no backup buffer, then a small delay can feel like a crisis. In that case, the issue is not only the delay—it is also the lack of working‑capital planning and basic financial discipline.
Professionals in financial services should practice the same principles—contingency planning, risk awareness, and disciplined cash‑flow management—in their own lives as they advise clients on. @ActusDei@krishan_sharmaa@AmitMTrivedi@amfiindia@DhruvLMehta@brijeshdalmia

SEBI has overhauled the Total Expense Ratio (TER) framework for mutual funds by introducing a clearer Base Expense Ratio (BER) structure and keeping all statutory levies like GST, STT, stamp duty and SEBI fees outside BER, to be charged on actuals.
BER caps have been trimmed across many AUM slabs, the earlier extra 5 bps on exit-load schemes has been removed, and brokerage caps have been tightened to 6 bps in cash and 2 bps in derivatives, exclusive of levies.
For listed AMCs, the final framework is softer than the draft – the effective TER reduction is lower and high-AUM slabs above ₹2,000 crore have been recalibrated, making it operationally manageable for most fund houses.
For distributors, this practically means AMCs will have a smaller BER pool to share between their own margins and trail, so some rationalisation of commissions in select schemes over time is likely, even though GST treatment on brokerage remains unchanged under the tax law.
Going ahead, TER will be constructed as: TER = Base Expense Ratio (BER) + brokerage + regulatory levies + statutory levies, with BER caps reduced versus current levels and all levies like GST, STT and stamp duty kept outside BER and charged on actuals.
The Board has approved this framework under the new SEBI Mutual Funds Regulations, 2026, but the exact effective date and transition timeline will be clarified through the formal notification and follow-up circulars to AMCs.

Incidental Advice vs Financial Advisory
What MFDs (Mutual Fund Distributors) can do as incidental advice
1. Discuss investor’s goals, time horizon and risk profile.
2. Explain how mutual funds work (SIP, lumpsum, equity vs debt vs hybrid, taxation).
3. Suggest suitable mutual fund categories/schemes you distribute for a specific goal (e.g., “For 10+ years, equity fund; for 2–3 years, short‑term debt fund”).
4. Help decide amount and frequency of SIP/lumpsum in those funds.
5. Review only the MF portfolio you have sold and suggest switches within MFs you distribute.
6. Use CFP® / CWM® only as an educational qualification after your name, and always keep your primary role description as “AMFI‑registered Mutual Fund Distributor” (and IRDAI licence for insurance, if any).
Avoid projecting “Certified Financial Planner” / “Chartered Wealth Manager” as your main public title unless you are also SEBI‑registered as an Investment Adviser and clearly segregate advisory from distribution.
What an MFD must not do (this becomes advisory)
1. Make a full financial plan covering all products (FDs, stocks, MFs, insurance, gold, real estate, loans, etc.).
2. Decide or change client’s overall asset allocation across all assets (how much in FDs vs EPF vs equity vs property).
3. Give buy/sell/hold views on direct stocks, bonds, PMS, AIFs, crypto, or other securities.
4. Present yourself as “investment adviser/financial planner/wealth coach/family CFO” instead of “AMFI‑registered Mutual Fund Distributor / insurance agent”.
5. Charge a separate fee for advice or planning (beyond execution/transaction charges) without SEBI IA registration.
If an action fits only in the first list and ends in recommending/buying mutual funds you distribute, it is incidental; the moment it touches items in the second list, it is advisory.
