Yes. Over any gain.
Ok, thanks. Will it be considered under tax slab or it is "flat deduction" even if total income is under 3 lakh per anum?

Depends upon type of MF scheme. If it is equity MF, It will be considered under flat deduction but after overcrossing the exemption limit. E.g. If your total gain is 4 lakhs, so only 1 lakh will be taxed at special rate.

 For non equity MF schemes it will be at slab rate.
