Partial payment in the six shuttered Franklin Templeton schemes has been processed by the AMC after Vodafone repayed its dues. Investors got a message today about the processing part of their payments. “Payment in segregated portfolio 1 – 8.25% Vodafone Idea Ltd. is processed. Your account statement is being sent separately. For queries contact your advisor if any, or call us at 18002584255,” said the message sent by the AMC.
Interest payment of INR 102.71 crore was received by Franklin Templeton from Vodafone Idea Ltd for 8.25% Vodafone Idea Ltd on June 12, 2020. The money is being distributed to investors in proportion to their holdings in the plans of the segregated portfolio(s).
Subir Jha, Founder, BuckSpeak, a financial planning firm, based in Hyderabad, says this payment is a good sign but not a significant one. “The payment to investors is due next month. It is a positive sign , but the money investors get will not be huge. However, the value of the Vodafone papers was marked at zero, so investors getting the money back is a win-win,” says Subir Jha.
He adds that investors should understand that this is a payment from the segregated portfolio and not from the main portfolio that has been shut. “The Vodafone papers were marked to zero and segregated from the main portfolio. The repayment from your scheme, which will be a sizeable amount will only come after the e-voting and liquidation process,” says Subir Jha.

The payout shall be subject to compliance with applicable regulations and tax deducted at source i.e. TDS, as applicable, said the AMC
