01 May 2008 Thanks Abhinav,

Actually I also want the clarification on taxability of Principal amount on Mutual Fund at the time of withdrawal.

07 May 2008 Dear Abhishek,

there is no taxability of the principal amount. Principal amount is the base to arrive at the profits or losses on your investments.

No taxing on principal amount at all.

Abhinav.
