Questions about tax on fund profits

The things people ask most about cashing in mutual fund units.

Do I pay tax on the full amount when I redeem my units?

No. The fund company works from your gain: the redemption value less what those units cost you. If units bought for Rs. 2,000,000 are redeemed for Rs. 3,000,000, the taxable gain is Rs. 1,000,000.

Is a mutual fund redemption gain combined with my salary?

No. The gain from redeeming units is a separate block of income with its own rate. It is kept apart from salary and business income, so it does not move your salary into a higher slab.

Will my ATL status affect the tax on my redemption?

Yes. For most unit purchase dates, the fund company applies a doubled rate when the investor is not on the Active Taxpayer List. The temporary same-rate treatment for recent purchases ended on 1 July 2026.

What happens if I redeem the units for less than I paid?

That redemption has no capital gains tax because it produced a loss. The loss may be set against gains on other investments, but not against salary or business income, and may be carried forward for up to three years.

What is the difference between a stock fund and an other fund?

A stock fund keeps more than 70% of its money in shares. Any fund holding less than that is an other fund. Your fund company states which one you hold. A person pays 15% either way; a company pays 15% on a stock fund and 25% on an other fund.

Is there any relief for holding units a long time?

Only if you bought the units on or before 30 June 2024 and held them for more than six years — then nothing is charged. For units bought after that date, the rate is the same however long you hold them.

Who deducts this from my money?

Your fund company works it out and takes it off your redemption before paying you, then deposits it with NCCPL. The figure on your redemption statement is the official one.

What about the payouts my fund makes during the year?

Those are dividends or distributions, not a capital gain, and are taxed separately when the fund pays them. This page only covers the profit you make when you cash the units in.

This is an estimate for your own planning. Your fund company works out the official figure and shows it on your redemption statement. This page is not tax advice.
