Investment in MFOS, which is a new avenue made available to SBs/ CMs to deploy client funds, ensures minimal risk transformation of client funds (that are withdrawable on demand) available with SBs/ CMs because of overnight tenure and exposure to only risk - free government securities, according to a circular by Sebi in January.

Instead the overnight schemes, based on redemption requests, may decide not to reinvest the maturity proceeds to be received on T+1 settlement date. Since the money has to be invested every day, for the amount of redemption requests received on T-day, such amount is not-reinvested on T+1 day and instead is used for payouts. Due to this, the timeline of redemption, whether being 3 PM or 7 PM shall not impact the funds valuation or capability to redeem investments.
