No. That is not it.
From what I understand:
Section 10(23D) = Exemption on Income OF Mutual Fund set up by banks or public companies. (For exempting income of Notified MF companies).
You may observe that it is through this section that the power to notify MFs have been conferred on the Central Government. The income of any MF which has not been so notified by CG, cannot claim exemption u/s 10(23D).
To get an idea of Notified MFs, Visit this link: https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/utilities/Notified-Mutual-Fund.aspx
Section 10(35) = Exemption on Income FROM Mutual Fund investments (For exempting income of assessees from units held in MF). This income could take the nature of dividend, etc.
