What is an Index Fund NFO, and how is it different from a regular mutual fund?

An Index Fund NFO (New Fund Offer) allows investors to subscribe to a new index mutual fund scheme. These funds aim to replicate the performance of a specific market index, offering passive investing at low costs compared to actively managed funds.

How can I invest in JioBlackRock Index Fund NFOs through Paytm Money?

You can open the Paytm Money app, visit the Mutual Funds section, and search for the JioBlackRock NFOs. From there, you can evaluate each fund’s details and invest instantly through a 100% digital, paperless process.

Are there any charges or commissions on investing via Paytm Money?

No. Paytm Money is a Direct Mutual Fund platform, which means it charges zero commission, no hidden fees, and no account opening charges, ensuring maximum returns for the investor.

What is the investment duration for these NFOs?

The JioBlackRock Index Fund NFOs on Paytm Money will be open for investment from August 5, 2025, to August 12, 2025. Investors should complete their applications within this window to subscribe.

Can I start a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) in these NFOs?

Yes. Paytm Money allows you to invest through SIPs in eligible mutual fund NFOs. In fact, 45% of prior JioBlackRock NFO investments on the Paytm app came via SIPs, encouraging disciplined, long-term investing.
