ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund will stop taking new investments in the IDCW options of 42 schemes from November 3, 2025. The move covers equity, debt, and fund-of-fund schemes, though investors can still invest in their growth options.
ICICI Prudential MF Freezes New Investments Temporarily Across 42 Funds
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has said it will stop taking new investments in the Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) options of 42 of its schemes starting November 3, 2025. This applies to both regular and direct plans.
The pause covers all fresh lump-sum investments, switch-ins, and new registrations under Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs). It also includes special features such as Freedom SIP, SIP Top-Up, Booster SIP, Flex STP, and Capital Appreciation STP.
However, investors who already have SIPs, STPs, or other systematic transactions registered before November 3 will not be affected — their existing instalments will continue as usual.
The fund house has not given a reason or timeline for this suspension. It also clarified that this change applies only to IDCW options, the growth options of these schemes will remain open for investment.
