On the contrary Exit loads are charges that are applied at the time when the investor wishes to withdraw an investment within a specific period from that fund. This is also in the form of percentage and this percentage is deducted from the NAV at the time of withdrawal or redemption. Example, if the withdrawal done by an investor is 10 units and it has the value of 10 rupees each. The exit load specified is 1%. This will make the selling price per unit to be 9.9 rupees. That is the investor will receive 99 rupees that is 9.9 X 10 rupees in units.
