Short Term Capital Gains Tax on Partial withdrawal from Equity MF ?

POSTED BY rahul chatterjee ON February 19, 2015 4:10 pm ONE COMMENT

Hello!

I have been regularly investing in Birla Sunlife Frontline Equity Fund (Direct) via SIP for the since June 2013 and have made sizeable gains thanks to the market rally. Now i would like to switch all the long term gains to a liquid fund to rebalance. I have a doubt regarding tax liability on the portion i want to switchover i.e.

The total amount i want to switch is about 25K with about 11K in long term capital gains. My question is if i switch over the entire 25K (principal + LTCG) would the principal 14K be treated tax free or would it count as Short Term Capital Gains.

Thanks in advance

    equity mutual fund redemptions that are made after 1 year are not taxable rest all are taxable….. also check there might be some exit load on the funds.
