"The underperformance of equity funds was primarily owing to their exposure to non-equity assets like bonds, cash, etc during the early part of the quarter," he added.

Indian shares rallied during April-June, second only to Vietnam in Asia, on signs of an economic recovery and hopes for market-friendly policies by the re-elected Congress-lead government.

The gain was the biggest rise for the benchmark since it soared 124.5 per cent in the March quarter of 1992 when Manmohan Singh, who was then finance minister, kicked off reforms to open up the economy.

However, many diversified equity funds, which held an average 15 per cent of their assets as cash at the end of March and nearly 14 per cent at end-April, missed the share market surge.

They also invested about 30 per cent of their equity assets in energy sector and defensives such as consumers and drug firms, which lagged behind sharper rallies in sectors such capital goods, financials and metals.

"There shall be no entry load for the schemes, existing or new, of a Mutual Fund. The upfront commission to distributors shall be paid by the investor to the distributor directly," SEBI said in a statement after its board meeting.
