OFFER DOCUMENT

Form NS is the Standard Offer Document for schemes launched by

Mutual Funds under the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996. All Mutual Funds should use Form
NS for filing an offer document pursuant to sub regulation (1) of
Regulation 28 of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996,
(Regulations) along with filing fees as specified in the Second
Schedule to these Regulations.

The purpose of a scheme offer document is to provide essential

information about the scheme in a way that will assist investors in
making informed decisions about whether to purchase the units being
offered. Since investors who rely on the offer document may not be
sophisticated in legal or financial matters, care should therefore be
taken to present the information in the offer document in simple
language and in a clear, concise and easily understandable manner.

The Standard Offer Document enumerates the minimum disclosure

requirements to be contained in the offer document of a scheme. A
Mutual Fund is free to add any other disclosure, which in the opinion
of the Trustees of the Mutual Fund (Trustees) or the Asset
Management Company (AMC) is material for the investor, provided
that such information is not presented in an incomplete, inaccurate or
misleading manner. Care should be taken to ensure that inclusion of
such information does not, by virtue of its nature, or manner of
presentation, obscure or impede understanding of any information
that is required to be included under the Standard Offer Document.

The Standard Offer Document prescribes only the nature of the

disclosures that should be contained under various heads in the offer
document of a scheme, and is not intended to describe the layout or
the language to be contained therein, with the exception of Items I, II
and III, which must appear in the same numerical order in the offer
document of a scheme. If the Mutual Fund desires, it may include
Item III as a part of Item I in the offer document.
The instructions for filling up the Standard Offer Document form are
given under each head.
