Mutual funds industry marked 1.62 crore SIP folios as 'cancelled' in April, resulting in a 13% reduction in outstanding SIP accounts.
The drop in SIP folios was a result of a one-time clean-up by the mutual fund industry to comply with SEBI's regulatory norms.
This clean-up addressed legacy SIPs that failed prior to SEBI's guidelines but were not eliminated from the system, with no impact on SIP inflows.
Gross inflows through SIPs reached a record high of Rs 26,632 crore in April, with 8.38 crore contributing accounts indicating strong active participation.
