Hi
Under Section 10(35) of the Income Tax Act, income received in respect of units of a mutual fund specified u/s. 10(23D) are exempt from income tax in the hands of all unit holders and no tax needs to be deducted at source from such distribution by the fund. However, by virtue of the proviso to section 10(35), this exemption does not apply to income arising on "transfer" of units of a mutual fund.
Capital gains tax is applicable when one redeems units in the mutual fund. If mutual fund units are redeemed within one year from the date of their purchase, the gain is regarded as short-term in nature. If units are held after one year of purchase, the gain is considered as long-term in nature.
