An open-ended equity scheme has an average weekly net asset base of ₹1,000 crore, and its daily expenses are charged on the basis of the annual TER. If the scheme charges a TER of 2% per annum, approximately how much is charged as expenses to the scheme in a 365-day year on a constant ₹1,000 crore corpus?

About ₹20 crore a year. The total expense ratio is a percentage of average net assets, so 2% of ₹1,000 crore equals ₹20 crore. Expenses are accrued daily within the NAV, not billed separately to the investor.
