A) TAX IMPLICATIONS TO UNITHOLDERS The following summary outlines the key tax implications applicable to unit holders based on the relevant provisions under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act), the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 and the Finance Act 2007 (collectively called the relevant provisions).
4 THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. HOWEVER, IN VIEW OF THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF THE IMPLICATIONS, EACH INVESTOR IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISORS/AUTHORISED DEALERS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX AND OTHER IMPLICATIONS ARISING OUT OF HIS OR HER PARTICIPATION IN THE SCHEME.

UNDER THE INCOME-TAX ACT, 1961 The following summary outlines the key tax implications applicable to unit holders based on the relevant provisions under the Act subsequent to the amendments enacted by the Finance Act, 2007.
The tax implications of the following income received by the investors are discussed below: i) Income on units (other than sale/redemption); ii) Income on sale/redemption of the units.
(i) Taxability of income on units (other than sale): The income received by an investor (other than income on sale/redemption) in respect of units of a mutual fund specified under Section 10(23D) of the Act, is exempt under the Act. As the income is exempt from tax, no tax is withheld by the Mutual Fund upon distribution of such income.
(ii) Taxability of income on sale/redemption of units:
The taxability of the income on sale/redemption of units and the rates at which such income is taxed is discussed below:
(a) If the units are held as stock-in-trade: If the units are held by an investor as stock-in-trade of a business, the said income will be taxed at the rates at which the normal income of that investor is taxed. The rates applicable to different investors are discussed at length in Table 1.
On sale of the units of an equity oriented fund (as defined below) on a recognized stock exchange or to the Mutual Fund, the investor will also be charged with securities transaction tax (STT) as per the rates specified in para on STT, provided the transaction is also considered as a taxable securities transaction. In other cases, STT is not levied.
Further, the investor is not allowed any deduction of STT paid for the purposes of computing his business income. However, a rebate under section 88E of the Act is available in respect of STT paid. The rebate is available in form of a deduction of the STT paid from the tax payable on the income from the taxable securities transaction. The tax payable on the income from taxable securities transaction is computed by applying the average rate of income-tax on the total income. The rebate in respect of STT paid cannot, however, exceed the tax payable. Also, this rebate can be claimed by an investor only if appropriate evidences are furnished in Form No. 10DB along with the Return of Income.
Note: Equity oriented fund is defined as - a fund where the investible funds are invested by way of equity shares in domestic companies to the extent of more than sixty five percent of the total proceeds of such fund; and 5 which has been set up under a scheme of a Mutual Fund specified in Section 10 (23D) of the Act
(b) If the units are held as investments If the units are held as investments, the tax rates applicable will depend on whether the gain on sale of units is classified as a short term capital gain or a long term capital gain. As per section 2(42A) of the Act, units of the scheme held as a capital asset, for a period of more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer, will be treated as long-term capital assets for the computation of capital gains; in all other cases, they would be treated as short-term capital assets.
The tax rates applicable on short term or long term capital gains arising on transfer of units of an equity oriented fund are stated in the following table:
Nature of income Tax rate$ Short-term capital gains on sale either to the Mutual Fund or on a recognized stock exchange

(b) Non-Resident Investors: As per the provisions of Act [Section 195], tax is required to be deducted at source from the sale proceeds or redemption proceeds paid to non-resident investors. This withholding is in addition to the STT payable, if any, by the investor. The rates are:

(ii) Non-Resident Indian (NRI) / Person of Indian Origin (PIO): Tax, on short term capital gains arising out of redemption of units is deducted at the rate of 10% (plus surcharge) for an equity oriented fund and at 30% (plus surcharge) for a non equity oriented fund. Tax, on long term capital gains is deducted at the rate of 20% (plus surcharge). However, in case of long term capital gains on redemption of units of an equity oriented fund, no tax would be deducted.
(iii) Non-Resident Corporates: Tax is deducted at the rate of 40 percent on short term capital gains and 20 percent on long-term capital gains. The said rates at which capital gains are charged to tax would be further increased by the applicable surcharge and education cess stated in Table 2 below.

According to the provisions of Section 94(8) of the Act, if an investor purchases units within 3 months before the record date (for entitlement of bonus) and sells/redeems the units within 9 months after that date, and by virtue of holding the original units, he becomes entitled to bonus units, then the loss arising on transfer of original units shall be ignored for the purpose of computing his income chargeable to tax.
