Kotak Balanced Advantage Fund - Regular (G)

1. Lumpsum subscriptions/ switches into the scheme;
2. Fresh registration of Systematic transactions into the Scheme.

The following transactions in the Scheme shall continue:

• Existing Systematic transactions into the scheme;
• Redemptionsand
• Existing and Fresh registrations of systematic transactions registrations out of the Scheme

The aforesaid suspension is temporary in nature and will be in effect till further notice by Axis AMC.

The suspension comes as both schemes hold Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds issued by Yes Bank that are currently valued at nil. The decision was a precautionary measure in view of the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the bonds.

In a significant development, the Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the Bombay High Court's January 2023 judgment quashing Yes Bank's write-off of AT1 bonds worth Rs 8,415 crore. The bonds were written down to zero in March 2020 as part of the bank's restructuring during its financial crisis. Yes Bank, the Reserve Bank of India and the central government had challenged the High Court ruling before the Supreme Court.

Kotak Mutual Fund and other investors had approached the court over the matter. A favourable judgment could lead to a substantial increase in the bonds' market value, potentially affecting the net asset values (NAVs) of the two schemes.

The Supreme Court's ruling could have implications for the valuation of the bonds held by the schemes. However, the timing and extent of any valuation change, as well as the eventual recovery for bondholders, remain subject to the implementation and financial implications of the judgment.

Installments under existing SIP and STP registrations made before 15 October will continue to be processed at the applicable NAV. All other terms and conditions of the two schemes remain unchanged, according to the fund house's notice.
