Zerodha Coin's e-Mandate feature allows investors to schedule automatic transfers from their bank account for their SIPs in two simple steps.

Zerodha Coin displays the Exit Load for each fund on the fund detail page. For example, if a fund has an exit load of 1%, then on early redemption, 1% of the latest NAV gets deducted from your redemption amount.
