Hi, I have Salary, Interest income, dividend income, STCG & LTCG on sale of equity shares and debt oriented MF.
I have computed the taxability as under
Interest Income at Normal Slab rates
Dividend Income
Equity Shares Exempt
Equity MF Exempt
Debt MF Exempt
STCG
EquityShares 15%
Debt MF Normal Slab rates
LTCG
Equity Shares Exempt
Equity MF Exempt
Debt MF 20% with indexation
Is it correct. Do I need to take into account anything else.

Your taxability summary is mostly correct. Here’s a detailed breakdown and a few clarifications to ensure accuracy:
---
### 1. **Interest Income**
* Taxed at **normal slab rates**.
* Includes interest from savings accounts, fixed deposits, debt mutual funds (if categorized as income).
### 2. **Dividend Income**
* **Dividends from Indian companies** are exempt in hands of shareholders as per current provisions (since FY 2020-21, dividends are taxable in hands of shareholder, but assuming your context is before this or you are considering old regime, it was exempt).
* Dividends from mutual funds are also taxable in the hands of the investor.
### 3. **Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG)**
* **Equity Shares and Equity Mutual Funds:** STCG taxed at **15%** if held for less than 12 months.
* **Debt Mutual Funds:** STCG taxed as **normal slab rates** if held for less than 36 months.
### 4. **Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG)**
* **Equity Shares and Equity Mutual Funds:** LTCG exceeding ₹1 lakh in a financial year taxed at **10% without indexation** (post 2018 amendment). Gains up to ₹1 lakh are exempt.
* **Debt Mutual Funds:** LTCG taxed at **20% with indexation** if held for more than 36 months.
---
### Additional points to note:
* **Dividend Income Taxability Update:** From FY 2020-21 onward, dividends are taxable in the hands of the shareholder as per slab rates (earlier exempt). Check the relevant FY.
* **Debt MF Gains:** Your note says exempt, but that applies only if held less than 36 months for STCG. For LTCG, it’s taxable as stated.
* **Equity Mutual Funds Gains:** LTCG is exempt up to ₹1 lakh per FY, then taxed at 10% on gains exceeding ₹1 lakh.

If you want, I can help calculate tax on your income or prepare a summary sheet. Would you like that?
