MFs may need RBI prop

Panic was reported among some mutual fund (MF) investors, especially those who had put money in debt schemes, after Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund scrapped six of its debt fund schemes on Thursday. Together, these funds had roughly ₹30,000 crore in assets, recovering even a fraction of which will be an arduous task for their unit holders.

But the event had left investors in all MFs nervous. Might other schemes go the same way?
