There are few things about the redemption process that would be helpful if you throw some light on.
1.I heard anything that is transacted in the stock market has a Securities Transaction Tax(STT). In the case of MFs the STT is paid by the AMCs and adjusted in calculating NAV.So the investor does not have to pay STT while redeming.Am I right?
2.There is exit load if one redeems before a certain period,generally 1 yr for open ended mfs.Now,the mf deducts the exit load and gives the investor the rest sum.Am I right?
3.Does the mf deducts the STCG(in case of redemption before 1 yr ) or the investor has to calculate it according to his tax slab in the IT return and pay to the IT dept?
I know these are quite elementary questions but your reply will help me and many like me.
