Taxation of Income: Capital gains
- If you sold mutual fund units after one year from the date of the start of the investment, and earn up to Rs 1 lakh in the financial year, the amount will be exempt from tax. If you get more than Rs 1 lakh, the amount will be taxed at a rate of 10%.
- If you are selling your mutual fund unit within one year from the beginning of the date of investment, then any amount you get will be taxed at the rate of 15%.
Conclusion: It is a fund that invests primarily in multinational corporate shares. We think investors should avoid funds with such a defined investment mandate. Instead, they should invest in multi-cap funds that give the fund management team full freedom to invest in companies from which it expects maximum returns. But if you invest, all you have to do is through the SIP route.
