Hi @funatlearn As checked, your order was placed on 8th May. Based on the standard T+2 settlement cycle, weekends and 12th May being a settlement holiday, the units are expected to reflect in your demat account by Wednesday, 14th May.

Once the units are fully settled and credited, they will be available for pledging — likely starting Thursday, 16th May, provided they meet pledge eligibility criteria.

How it was T+2 settlement cycle? Currently we are in T+1 settlement cycle right for delivery

Hi @Nagasahitya
Yes, T+1 settlement applies to many Mutual Funds, but the flow works a bit differently in SOA vs Demat mode:

A. SOA mode:
Order flows Exchange → RTA/AMC → Folio → units usually reflect on T+1 in your AMC/RTA account.

B. Demat MF mode:
Order flows Exchange → RTA/AMC → CDSL.
Even if the AMC allots on T+1, units hit your Demat account only after T+2, once the RTA sends the official settlement file to CDSL.

Why? Because in Demat, units are held at CDSL (not just at RTA) — this extra step ensures proper settlement before they become pledgeable.

Purchased SBI Multi Asset Allocation MF yesterday.
I see it in Portfolio today.
I enabled Demat MF today (although I am sure I did it already months back).

When can I pledge the MF?

Nothing in demat.

Once MF hits the demat account after T+2, you will be able to pledge.

Not sure why you had to enable Demat MF again. @Saurav.P any idea ?

Hi @VijayNair

We’d love to help you with your doubts! Could you please DM us your registered mobile number so our team can connect with you and assist further?

@Saurav.P MF still not in demat. Sent you DM.

@Saurav.P Is it mandatory to enable DDPI for mutual funds pledge?

No, @Nagasahitya

I have invested in mutual funds through demat mode. Every time I got units credit confirmation from CDSL on T+1 End of the day. But even on T+2 dhan is not showing those in demat MF section. Why dhan is not showing even though cdsl is confirming to investor on T+1

Awaiting for the response

Hello @Nagasahitya,

As discussed on call, your query about the mutual funds has been addressed from our end now.

You’ll get the confirmation for your mutual fund units on T+1 working day, and we update it in your portfolio by T+2 working days from our end.

If you need any help with anything else, just let us know.

Unable to find the option to buy MF with DMAT option after clicking on Invest Now button. After buying MF it doesn’t allow to pledge them

Any steps to be followed ?

@Rahul

Yesterday I placed mutual fund order at 9.30 am then I should must get same day nav today but mutual fund are still in process?

Hello @pavz,

To enable demat mutual funds, go to Dhan app > Portfolio > scroll sideways > Demat > Enable MF Demat Mode. Once activated, you can invest in demat format for mutual funds.

We’ve shared a screenshot for reference. If you still can’t proceed, drop us an email from your registered id at help@dhan.co.

Hey @BIR,

As we discussed on call, your mutual funds order is now in progress units should be allotted in 3-4 working days.

For the NAV, you can check the link we shared : What is the Mutual Fund cut-off time to get the same day's NAV? : .
