Investments u/s 80C
This query is : Resolved

Dear All
My query related to investments u/s 80C wherein funds are locked for a 3 yrs period. If for instance I invest in an ELSS Mutual Fund, I get units allotted in my name. After a 3 yr lock in period, it is taxable, if redeemed.
My question is that whether MF is considered as security under the Securities Contract regulation Act, if yes, then it would be a long-term capital gain on securities, which would not be taxable.
Then why is the whole amount subject to tax wherein the principal amount is also involved along with appreciation
Pl. suggest.

NO, it is long term capital gain and it is not taxable. It is like securities sold and LTCG is not taxable
