12 dividend yield funds from 12 fund houses filed a portfolio for Sep 2026. Here is what most of them hold, and what they added and cut.

Category as AMFI lists it; the two AMFI spellings of a category are one page. Counted over open-ended schemes with an equity portfolio for the month, share counts from each fund house's monthly file. Value added or cut = change in shares × the month's value per share in that file, never a change in price.
