- ENTRY: i.e. the schemes that have been imported from excel
- OUR SUGGESTION: When the name of the scheme does not correspond to the scheme matched by the system, you will find the closest matching scheme here. This could even be blank if the system does not find the scheme name.
- Change: In case the name of the scheme that you actually own does not correspond to the scheme matched by the system, or does not show any scheme against that name, click on Change link and select the correct scheme name.
After checking and changing the entries, click on <Proceed> to add them to the new portfolio.
| Note: The purpose of this additional step is to ensure that everything is correct, because once you <Save> the transactions, you will not be able to undo them and this could in turn show you wrong returns calculation. |
So in this particular step, you need to confirm all the following details:
- SCHEME: It enlists the schemes that have been imported from excel. Check if all the schemes have been enlisted.
- TRANSACTION TYPE: It shows the status i.e whether the scheme is a BUY or a SELL.

- QUANTITY: Ensure that the quantity is correct.
- PRICE: It shows the market price or the last NAV at which the scheme was purchased.
