11 December 2012 "Investments in FMP's are debt instruments and not security based investments." In the circumstances explain how you are entitled to benefit of income being taxed as capital gains - ITO has asked this question. Can any body share any relevant case laws on Capital gains on FMP. I understand that investments is in a mutual fund (FMP) that invests in debts instruments and the investors is allotted units of the scheme. So by definition it becomes a capital assets and hence on can claim indexation benefits.

11 December 2012 a Mutual Fund registered under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (15 of 1992) or regulations made there under.... is a capital asset.
"unit of a Mutual Fund specified under clause (23D) of section 10"
If your FMP is satisfying the conditions as above, it is a capital asset and accordingly indexation is available.

13 December 2012 Thanks, though the argument along with the MF statement has also been provided, I wanted to check if there are any case laws on the same. I have also put one more argument that FMP cannot be considered as a debt instrument as there is no borrower lender relation ship and the resulting income from FMP is not interest but only appreciation in the NAV.
