Long term Equity profits are Tax Free

Equity mutual funds do not attract any long-term capital gains tax, so your entire gains are tax-free

 

Equity mutual funds do not attract any long term capital gains tax. So if you sell your units after a holding period of a year, then you are liable to pay no tax on your gains.

 

This is irrespective of the tax slab you fall in. You would have had to pay a short term capital gains tax of 15 per cent in case you held your investments for less than an year. You are required to declare all your capital gains under the head 'Income from capital gains' while filing your income tax returns.
