The results of the Scheme may be impacted by modifications to the underlying scheme's basic characteristics or investing rules.

• Securities of the Government of India Despite the fact that the Government of India Securities market has greater liquidity than other debt instruments, there may occasionally be issues with trading in the market as a result of high volatility that limits market volumes.

• The plan won't be actively managed because it intends to invest in SBI Silver ETF with at least 95% of net assets. A broad downturn in the Indian markets pertaining to the fund it uses as its foundation could have an impact on the Scheme. Regardless of the underlying fund's investing merit, the Scheme makes investments in it.
