Factors to consider before investing in these mutual funds
Before investing in any mutual fund, it is important to check certain important factors like
- Investment goal – It is always important to invest according to your goal. Get a list of mutual funds and keep an eye on their performance. For example, if you are close to retirement, choose a balanced fund that invests in a mix of bonds and stocks.
- Investment horizon – Before investing, consider your investment horizon. If your investment goal is short, check for short-term funds that you can liquidate in a few years. If you have a long-term investment goal, go for long-term funds. Overall, ensure the fund duration matches your investment goal duration.
- Risk appetite – This is essential to keep in mind while investing. Mutual funds have different options. Invest according to your risk tolerance, or your investment can go to waste.
- Returns – An investment is considered good if it gives you more than you invested. This includes the fees and other costs associated while investing.
- Fees – Mutual fund companies or brokers charge a fee based on the investment amount. Go through the fees charged by your broker before investing.
Taxation on Equity Mutual Funds as per the 2024 Budget
Understanding the latest tax regulations on equity mutual funds is essential for making informed investment decisions. The Union Budget 2024 has introduced significant changes to the taxation of equity mutual funds, simplifying the tax structure while altering rates and benefits. Here is a detailed breakdown of the new tax rules:
Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG)
If you hold equity mutual funds for less than a year, the gains from these investments are classified as short-term capital gains. According to the new budget, these gains are now taxed at a rate of 20%, which has been increased from the previous rate of 15%.
Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG)
For equity mutual funds held for more than a year, the gains are considered long-term capital gains. The key points to note under the new budget are:
- Tax-Free Limit: Gains up to Rs. 1.25 lakh in a financial year remain tax-free. This limit has been increased from the previous threshold of Rs. 1 lakh.
- Tax Rate: Any gains above Rs. 1.25 lakh are taxed at a flat rate of 12.5%. It was previously taxed at 10%.
- Indexation: It’s important to note that the benefit of indexation, which previously allowed investors to adjust the purchase price of their assets for inflation, has been removed for all asset classes, including equity mutual funds.
Indexation is a method used to adjust the purchase price of an asset (like property or gold) for inflation over the years. This adjusted price is then used to calculate capital gains. Previously, long-term capital gains from selling property, gold, or other unlisted assets were taxed at 20%, but you could use indexation to reduce your taxable profit. The new rule simplifies the tax structure by setting a flat 12.5% tax rate for all long-term capital gains. However, it removes the indexation benefit.
Summary
Capital Gains Tax | Holding Period | Old Rate | New Rate |
Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) | Less than 12 months | 15% | 20% |
Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) | More than 12 months | 10% | 12.50% |
No Indexation Benefit: This change affects the overall tax liability, potentially increasing it for long-term investors.
