    Hello ,
    I have decided to move from Hybrid Debt fund to FIBC large cap fund. I have two option as below.
    1. STOP the SIP in hybrid fund and start fresh investment through SIP in FIBC fund
    For this i have to fill stop form manually as AMC website not providing STOP request online. So have to send form through courier( I am an NRI) is not much convenient option.

    2. Start STP from Hybrid Fund to FIBC fund which i can do online on AMC platfrom.

    How the Tax implication for more than 1 yr investment. ( i have investing in Hybrid fund since last 15 Months ).

    Please provide your inputs/comments which are most valuable to me.
    thanks

      Dear Jig, the fund in question is a debt fund from taxation angle & you being NRI – debt funds are not that much tax friendly due to TDS. Take note of this.

      To invest or not to invest ‘ll be a personal call.

      Thanks

    Hello Ashal,
    Earlier my plan was to remain invested in market fluctuations and period i tought was 3 yrs( for child school admission). My advisor suggest me to go with this fund which one part is invested in Franklin India Bluechip and other is money market. But now i wana invest this amount for longer period which add wealth for son marriage and other expenses for that. I can arrange admission fee from somehow ( My wife started earning)So i decide to review it.
    I am investing in this since last one year.

    I am confused as it will be treated as Debt fund. so should i move it completely to Franklin India bluechip or remain invested in this fund only?

    Can you please provide your view on better investing if any.

    Thanks

    Dear Jig, this fund in question is treated as debt fund from taxation point of view. So what ever tax rules are applicable for debt funds ‘ll be applied for this fund too.

    thanks
