An exit load is a small fee (often around 1%) charged if you redeem before a set period - commonly within 1 year for equity funds. It discourages short-term churning and protects long-term holders.

Liquid and overnight funds usually have no exit load (or a tiny graded one for very early exits). Always check the load structure before investing.
