Income generated from profit of the mutual fund will be given to the unit holders in form of dividends in dividend funds and the income from the fund will be reinvested back into growth fund. So the net effect is that the dividend funds NAV keep decreasing when the MF make dividend payout, but in growth, NAV will keep on growing. So If you want regular income go for dividend and if you want capital gains go for growth funds.
