09 June 2014 yes. to whatever extent principal is redeemed, excess of redemption amount over investment amount is charged to capital gains.

03 August 2014 The calculations are slightly tricky here.

You need to consider the NAV at the time of purchase and NAV at the time of redemption.

If the (difference in NAV) X No. of units redeemed = Positive value, only then you need to pay short term capital gains tax @ 15%.
