Zero exit load means no charge on switching?

A switch from regular plan to direct plan is considered a redemption in the existing scheme and a fresh purchase in the desired plan

You have mentioned that exit load is zero on Axis Long Term Equity Fund. Does this mean I won't be charged anything if I switch from regular plan to direct plan of the scheme?
