Equity Funds

Equity funds are equity-oriented for tax purposes: short-term gains (held ≤ 12 months) are taxed at a flat 20%; long-term gains (held > 12 months) at 12.5% on amounts above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year, with no indexation.

Debt Funds

For units acquired on or after 1 April 2023, debt fund gains are taxed at your income-tax slab rate regardless of holding period, the earlier long-term/indexation treatment was removed by the Finance Act 2023.

Hybrid Funds
