Franklin India Mutual Fund has declared Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) payouts for two of its Fund of Funds schemes, with July 3, 2026 (Friday) designated as the record date to determine eligible unitholders. According to reports from Upstox News Desk, if the specified date is not a business day, the record date will be the immediately following business day. The record date serves as a crucial milestone for investors, as only those whose names appear in the fund's records as unitholders on that date will be eligible to receive the declared IDCW.
The Trustees of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund have approved the IDCW distribution under the Franklin U.S. Opportunities Equity Active Fund of Funds (FUSOF). Under the IDCW Plan, investors holding units will receive ₹2.50 per unit on the face value of ₹10. For investors under the IDCW Plan – Direct, the distribution amount is ₹4.00 per unit on the same face value. As reported by Upstox News Desk, the record date for this distribution is also July 3, 2026.
In a separate announcement, Franklin India Mutual Fund has declared IDCW under the Franklin India Income Plus Arbitrage Active Fund of Funds (FIPAF). Under the IDCW Plan, investors will receive ₹1.70 per unit on the face value of ₹10, while those invested through the IDCW Plan – Direct will be entitled to ₹2.10 per unit. The record date for this distribution is also July 3, 2026, as reported by Upstox News Desk.

| Franklin India Income Plus Arbitrage Active FoF Direct-IDCW | 2.100 | Direct | July 3, 2026 |
| Franklin India Income Plus Arbitrage Active FoF Reg-IDCW | 1.700 | Regular | July 3, 2026 |

Under an Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal plan, a mutual fund may distribute a portion of the profits generated by the scheme to investors instead of reinvesting the entire amount back into the fund. The decision to declare an IDCW rests with the fund house and is subject to the availability of distributable surplus. According to Upstox News Desk, the IDCW amount is paid to eligible unitholders based on the number of units they hold as of the record date. After the distribution, the scheme's Net Asset Value (NAV) typically falls by approximately the amount of the IDCW paid out, as the payout is made from the scheme's assets. Investors should note that IDCW payouts reduce the scheme's net asset value (NAV) to the extent of the distribution and are subject to applicable tax regulations.
