About this tool
Post 23-July-2024 Union Budget rewrite of Indian capital gains rules — this is the current framework for mutual fund taxation. EQUITY MF: LTCG (>12 months) taxed at 12.5% with ₹1.25L annual exemption; STCG (<12 months) at 20%. DEBT MF: ALL gains taxed at slab rate regardless of holding (post 1-Apr-2023 rule; earlier debt got indexation benefit at 20% for LTCG). Grandfathering: for equity MF purchased before 1-Feb-2018, cost of acquisition = MAX(actual cost, FMV on 31-Jan-2018 or sale price, whichever is lower) — protects pre-2018 unrealized gains from tax. Add 4% Health & Education Cess to all computed tax.
