Mint says retirees may prefer SWP over IDCW payouts
In short
Mint’s summary says retirees comparing mutual fund IDCW and SWP options should note that IDCW payouts are not guaranteed and may not be tax-friendly. It says a disciplined SWP can give more control over withdrawals and taxes.
This matters because retirement income can depend on how cash is taken out. The report does not say which mutual funds or tax outcomes apply in every case.
