The following tax benefits are available to investors and the Mutual Fund under present taxation

Laws as of this date of offer document.

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.

Gold BeES is categorized as a Scheme other than equity oriented mutual fund scheme,
securities transaction tax is not applicable.

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:

resident investors at the time of repurchase or redemption of the units.

(b) Non-Resident Investors: As per the provisions of Act [Section 195], tax is required to be

[Section 196D(2)].

(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

units of an equity oriented fund.

All the above non-resident investors may also claim the tax treaty benefits available, if any. For

tax advisors.

Provisions regarding Dividend income and Bonus

sale/redemption) claimed as tax exempt.

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
