One of my clients invested in the name minor daughters under UTI Rajlakshmi Unit Plant II called RUP II. When the same was discontinued, he opted for conversion into UTI Children Career Balance Plan called CCBP during FY 2004-05. Now the above said CCBP units were realised during minority of children-FY 2012-13. No STT was paid. Will this result in Long-term capital gains? or can exemption claimed u/s 10(38)?Kindly clarify.

According to the scheme document the UTI Children Career Plan was not an equity plan. Accordingly exemption under Section 10(38) won't be available to the capital gains arising out of sale of such units.
