11 June 2012 First of all the money transferred/remited by your brother is NOT TAXABLE in India. It is NOT income.

It is remitance of income earned outside India.

So, there is no need to show the same in the return.

Second, STCG on redemption of mutual fund units are taxable in India under the head capital gain.

LTCG on redemption of mutual fund units are exempt if the units were of an equity oriented fund.
