Taxability of STCG

Dear Sirs,

 I am a senior citizen . I have earned Short Term Capital Gain from sale of Mutual Fund ( Debt Fund )- Rs. 12,718/- and  from Equity oriented Mutual Fund- Rs. 881/- , apart from Long Term Capital Gain ( subject to STT) of Rs. 5,576/-  These are the information provided by my Mutual Fund agent through whom I invest my  surplus fund by way of SIP/ outright purchase as suggests by the Agent.

My other income for the FY 2019-2020 is Rs. 3,90,000/- only. Am I to pay Income Tax separately on Capital Gain as detailed above?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) from mutual fund investments for a senior citizen. Despite earning STCG from debt and equity funds, along with some Long Term Capital Gains, the individual's total income means there is no income tax liability on these gains. However, filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) is still recommended, with specific schedules for reporting capital gains if required.

No... there's no tax liability however you are requested to file ITR
Is it tax free mf
there's is no tax liability but if you're a salary person then file itr2 other wise file itr3
