The NAV (net asset value) is the price of one unit of the fund. It is published by the fund house every business day and changes with the value of the fund's holdings. The Growth option reinvests all gains, so its NAV reflects the fund's total return.

Gains are taxed as equity: sell within 12 months and the gain is short-term, taxed at 20%. Hold longer and it is long-term, taxed at 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year, across all your equity investments.
