If all units completed a year (in case of equity funds) and also there is no exit load, then you can switch to direct funds without any worries.

Switching is nothing but withdrawing from regular fund and freshly investing into direct funds. Hence, you have to pay the applicable tax rate as per the type of the fund and holding period.
