13 July 2011 In case of switch over units of one kind are sold and another kind of units are purchased. So in Switch over from debt to equity or equity to debt oriented untis attract capital gains tax.

In your query, it is to be observed that whether the mode of receipt of income changes or the units in the funds are also changes according to the plan.

When only mode of receiving income changes there is no capital gains.
