of mutual funds, is on investing in firms with the ability to pay dividends on a consistent basis. <\/strong>The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) requires that at least 65% of a dividend yield fund&#8217;s assets be invested in dividend-paying securities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex

Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dividend yield mutual funds are divided into two categories based on equity exposure. A dividend-paying equity fund has a minimum equity investment of 65%. <strong>Unless otherwise specified, the fund is dividend-paying equity or debt fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Dividend-Paying_Mutual_Funds_Work\"><\/span><strong>How Do Dividend-Paying Mutual Funds Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mutual funds that pay dividends provide investors with annualized payments.<\/strong> As a result of the regularity of these distributions, you, as an investor, will feel secure and at ease with these funds. These dividends will be paid from the fund&#8217;s earnings from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mutual funds with a high dividend yield often put their money into the stocks of firms that pay out dividends on a consistent basis. <\/strong>Dividends are distributed to stockholders only when a company has a positive net income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual Funds (MF) with a dividend option do not exhibit a quick increase in net asset value (NAV) since dividends are paid out very immediately upon reaching a specified threshold. <strong>In the case of debt funds, fund houses are required to pay a Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) of 28.84%, inclusive of cess and surcharge. <\/strong>In contrast, equity mutual funds do not incur a DDT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The equities underpinning these mutual funds are, therefore, almost always those of firms with healthy bottom lines. But even the best dividend-paying mutual funds have some risk because their returns are affected by changes in the market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dividend mutual funds could be a good investment for people who don&#8217;t mind taking risks and want to get money every month.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rakshith-pai wp-block-embed-rakshith-pai\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"GQqzxpfWga\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/best-dividend-paying-stocks-in-india\/\">15 Highest Dividend Paying Stocks in India 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;15 Highest Dividend Paying Stocks in India 2023&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/rakshithpai.com\/best-dividend-paying-stocks-in-india\/embed\/#?secret=S0yvZrgehh#?secret=GQqzxpfWga\" data-secret=\"GQqzxpfWga\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Invest_in_Dividend_Yield_Funds\"><\/span><strong>Why Invest in Dividend Yield Funds?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Dividend Yield Funds portfolio consists of stocks that have a track record for consistent dividend payout with improvements in dividend year after year.<\/strong> Hence such companies are chosen that are not only good dividend payers but also have the ability to pay dividends through the market cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/open-account?c=PR4768\" style=\"border-radius:50px;background-color:#e4fa00;color:#0f0027\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Open Zerodha Account Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the companies that can now maintain a stable dividend payment schedule.
