If you wish to invest in an SIP from HDFC, you will have to fill in the application form which is basically an SIP enrolment form. The form will have to be submitted together with an auto-debit form.
The amount at the time of redemption is usually paid through direct debit via NEFT or RTGS, or via cheque.
In case the scheme in which you invested does not have an “exit load”, you will not be charged anything. But if it does, the amount charged as exit load will be subtracted from the ‘Applicable NAV’ per unit.
