I have a couple of queries with respect to ELSS mutual funds:
1. When the 3 year lock in period gets over does the money generated automatically redeem itself to the attached bank account?

2. If the money is not auto redeeemed, does remain at the same level if the investor does not redeem it, or continues to grow cumalatively?

3. If one switches the funds from ELSS to another category post the lock in period but with the same AMC (say from Nippon ELSS to Nippon Smallcap) would it be considered a redemption and LTCG apppied?

Thank you for answering the queries in advance.

What's your opinion of Tata India digital fund? My time horizon is around seven years. I am betting only 15 Percentage of my investment in this fund and right now I am in a comfortable position. Should I exit or not? Please guide me

You are not given any advice on generating alpha in the long term.

What can be the mistake of investing in mid and small cap for over 10 years ? Looking at the data, even the non top funds have given more than 18 percentage

Why no body asking if we switch/redeem MF every 2-3 becoz of underperformance, won't that affects compounding?
Redeeming and starting new SIP+redeemed lumpsum won't affect NAVs (price averaging) w.r.t.date of starting new MF.

One more mistake is choosing ET Money app paid subscription. They make all this pravachan, but their app is dumb and support is T+ Days away. Unable fix glitches nor bothered to respond. I am unable to withdraw money invested through their app. Stay away from their subscription

[SeacoastAquariumANDPets]

One thing to note here is

Not every investor is educated enough to choose the right fund
Infact there are lot of people who don't know how to use ETmoney and even don't read English so for them regular plans through mutual fund distributors are the best way

Otherwise they will be investing in gold or FD or post office scheme which most of the Indians do since they lack the financial knowledge
