Mutual fund offices are also operating with minimum staff at this time. However, they are trying and doing their best to keep the services running smoothly and efficiently.
According to a report, the Association of Mutual Funds in India informed SEBI the difficulties that are likely to take place in the daily operation of mutual funds. However, the authorities have been doing a great job to maintain market stability as much as possible.
