Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of dividends from debt mutual funds, specifically the LIC MF Banking & PSU Debt - Direct Plan - Dividend - Daily option. Dividends themselves are tax-free for investors, but the fund company pays a Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) of 29.12%. When dividends are reinvested daily, these new units are treated as a fresh investment, and any profit or loss upon redemption will be subject to capital gains tax.

OK sir, thank you for your reply , so in this fund, while they credit daily units to my account equivalent to dividend is not taxable while redeeming. 

 

Thanks 

The above reply is in respect of Dividend Income either actually received by you or it is re-invested into units as per your chosen option.

The new units allowed are nothing but your fresh investment into units.

So at the time of redemption , whether profit or loss, it is taxable either as long term capital gain/loss or short term capital gain /loss.

Dividend and Redemption both are independent matters.

OK sir, thank you
