02 January 2010 When you buy , the mutual fund allots you units and when you sell the mutual fund company call it redemption, which mean buyback from you on the NAV. So there may be gains or loss when you actually do the redemption. The capital Gains can be two types having two rates under I T Act. These are Long term Gains or Short Term Gains

Long Term Gains

If you held the units for more than a year, gains on such units redemption is tax free u/s 10(38) of the I T Act.

Short term gains

When the units are sold (redemption ) within one year of being held by the investor , it becomes short term gains or loss . The Short term gains are taxed @ 15 % u/s 111A of the I T Act.

The gains or loss is very easily computed as under
