INTRODUCTION
A mutual fund is a company that pools money from many investors and invests the money in
securities such as stocks, bonds, and short-term debt. In simple terms mutual fund is a trust
that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial objective.
Mutual fund investors can be broadly classified into three categories. One, those who are
ready to take some risk and they invest in equity funds. Second, those who play it safe by
investing in debt funds that assures some returns while keeping money safe, and third, those
Hybrid funds invest in both debt and equity instruments to achieve diversification and avoid
the concentration risk. A perfect blend of the two offers higher returns than a regular debt
fund while not being as risky as equity funds. The choice of a hybrid fund depends on your
risk preferences and investment objective. Hybrid funds are considered a safer bet than equity
funds. These provide higher returns than genuine debt funds and are popular among
conservative investors. Budding investors who are willing to get exposure to equity markets
may invest in hybrid funds. The presence of equity components in the portfolio offers the
potential to earn higher returns. At the same time, the debt component of the fund provides a
In this way, you receive stable returns instead of a total burnout that may happen in case of
pure equity funds. For the less conservative category of investors, the dynamic asset
allocation feature of some hybrid funds becomes a great way to enjoy the best out of market
fluctuations.

is that it allows you to open one account to invest in multiple asset classes, such as
2. Reduce Risks - Mutual fund houses design hybrid funds such that they deliver
decent returns without much risk. They achieve this through portfolio
diversification.
3. Diversification - Hybrid funds divide the AUM into sub-asset classes within the
master asset class. For example, an aggressive fund with 65% exposure to equity
may invest in large, mid, and small-cap stocks. Similarly, a conservative fund may

different risk appetites. The scope of these funds ranges from conservative to aggressive,
offering options for both risk-averse and risk-seeking individuals. This allows investors to
choose a fund that aligns with their financial goals and tolerance for risk.
ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES: The scope of hybrid mutual funds includes a wide
range of asset allocation strategies. Fund managers can adjust the allocation between equities
and fixed income based on market conditions, economic outlook, and the fund's investment
GLOBAL REACH: Some hybrid funds have a global or international focus, allowing
conditions, and make investment decisions on behalf of investors, potentially saving them
DIVERSIFICATION: Hybrid funds seek to diversify their holdings across different asset
classes, typically equities (stocks) and fixed-income securities (bonds and/or money market
instruments).
RISK MANAGEMENT: One of the key objectives of hybrid funds is to manage risk
effectively. This risk management approach is especially attractive to investors with moderate
risk tolerance.
Fund managers actively select equities that have growth potential to generate returns over
time.

of their investments and cannot customize the portfolio to their specific risk tolerance or
financial goals.

them less tax-efficient compared to investing directly in individual stocks and bonds. Capital
gains and dividend distributions in the fund may lead to tax liabilities for investors.

fund manager chooses to invest, it can lead to concentration risk, reducing the overall

from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments,
and/or other securities. In a mutual fund, the fund manager, who is also known as the
portfolio manager, trades the fund's underlying securities, realizing capital gains or losses,
and collects the dividend or interest income. The investment proceeds are then passed along
to the individual investors. The value of a share of the mutual fund, known as the net asset
value per share (NAV) is calculated daily based on the total value of the fund divided by
the number of shares currently issued and outstanding. Mutual fund is a trust that pools the
savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. This pool of money is
The joint ownership of the fund is thus “Mutual”, i.e., the fund belongs to all investors. The
money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures
and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital
appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion the number of units
owned by them. Thus, a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as
at a relatively low cost. A Mutual Fund is an investment tool that allows small investors
access to a well-diversified portfolio of equities, bonds and other securities. Each shareholder
participates in the gain or loss of the fund. Units are issued and can be redeemed as needed.
The fund’s Net Asset value (NAV) is determined each day. Investments in securities are
spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is reduced.
Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the
same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors in accordance
with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit
holders. When an investor subscribes for the units of a mutual fund, he becomes part owner
of the assets of the fund in the same proportion as his contribution amount put up with the
corpus (the total amount of the fund). Mutual Fund investor is also known as a mutual fund
shareholder or a unit holder. Any change in the value of the investments made into capital
market instruments (such as shares, debentures etc) is reflected in the Net Asset Value (NAV)
of the scheme. NAV is defined as the market value of the Mutual Fund scheme's assets net of
its liabilities. NAV of a scheme is calculated by dividing the market value of scheme's
The Indian Mutual Fund has passed through three phases. The first phase was between
1964and 1987 and the only player was the Unit Trust of India, which had a total asset of Rs.
6,700crores at the end of 1988. The second phase is between 1987 and 1993 during which
period 8Funds were established (6 by banks and one each by LIC and GIC). The total assets
undermanagement had grown to 61,028 crores at the end of 1994 and the number of schemes
was167.The third phase began with the entry of private and foreign sectors in the Mutual
Fund industry in 1993. Kothari Pioneer Mutual Fund was the first Fund to be established by
the private sector in association with a foreign Fund. As at the end of financial year 2000(31st
march) 32 Funds were functioning with Rs. 1, 13,005 crores as total assets under
management. As on august end 2000, there were 33 Funds with 391 schemes and assets
under management with Rs 1, 02,849 crores. The securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) came out with comprehensive regulation in 1993 which defined the structure of
Mutual Fund and Asset Management Companies for the first time. Several private sectors
Mutual Funds were launched in 1993 and1994. The share of the private players has risen
rapidly since then. Currently there are 34 Mutual Fund organizations in India managing
1,02,000 crores.
The origin of Mutual Fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept of mutual
fund by UTI in the year 1963. Though the growth was slow, but it accelerated from the year
1987 when non-UTI players entered the industry. In the past decade, Indian Mutual Fund
industry had seen dramatic improvements, both quality wise as well as quantity wise. Before,
the Monopoly of the Market had seen an ending phase; the Assets Under Management
(AUM) was Rs. 67bn. The private sector entry to the fund family raised the AUM to Rs. 470
bn in March 1993 and till April 2004; it reached the height of 1,540 inputting the AUM of the
Indian Mutual Funds Industry into comparison, the total of it is less than the deposits of SBI
alone, constitute less than 11% of the total deposits held by the Indian banking industry. The
main reason of its poor growth is that the Mutual Fund industry in India is new in the
country. Large sections of Indian investors are yet to be intellectual with the concept. Hence,
it is the prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to market the product correctly
abreast of selling. The Mutual Fund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was setup by
the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of
the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial
Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in
place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988
Entry of non-UTI mutual funds. SBI Mutual Fund was the first followed by Can bank Mutual
Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund
(Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC in 1989and
GIC in 1990. The end of 1993 marked Rs.47, 004 as assets under management.
With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund
industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year
in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being, under which all mutual funds,
except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged
with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July1993. The
1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and
revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the
SEBI(Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996. The number of mutual fund houses went on
increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up funds in India and also the industry has
witnessed several mergers and acquisitions. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33
mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1, 21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs.44,
541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.
This phase brought bitter experience for UTI. It was bifurcated into two separate entities. One
is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with AUM of Rs.29, 835crores (as on
January 2003). The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning under an
administrator and under the rules framed by Government of India and does not come under
the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations. The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd,
sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI and functions under the
Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March2000
more than Rs.76,000 crores of AUM and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund,
conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent mergers taking place
among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its current phase of
consolidation and growth. As at the end of September, 2004, there were 29 funds, which

CONCEPTUAL REVIEW
Mutual funds are an investment option that offers easy access, liquidity, straightforward exits,
and remove investment management risk from the individual investor as professional fund
A mutual fund is an investment vehicle that pools funds from investors and invests in
equities, bonds, government securities, gold, and other assets. Companies that qualify to set
up mutual funds, create Asset Management Companies (AMCs) or Fund Houses, which pool
in the money from investors, market mutual funds, manage investments, and enable investor
transactions.
Mutual funds are managed by sound financial professionals known as fund managers, who
have the expertise in analysing and managing investments. The funds collected from
investors in mutual funds are invested by the fund managers in different financial assets such
as stocks, bonds, and other assets, as defined by the fund’s investment objective. Where and
when to invest are some of the things taken care of by the fund managers, amongst many
other responsibilities.
For the fund’s management, the AMC charges a fee to the investor known as the expense
ratio. It is not a fixed fee and varies from one mutual fund to another. SEBI has defined the
maximum limit of the expense ratio that can be charged on the basis of the total assets of the
fund.
In India, the capital markets regulator SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) has
encouraged the mutual fund industry by creating a system that works for the benefit of all
stakeholders, including investors and mutual fund sponsors. Regulations are passed from time
to time which improves functioning and helps attract investments and generate growth.
There are multiple ways in which mutual funds can be categorized, for example, the way they
are structured, the kind of securities they hold, their investment strategies, etc. The Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has classified mutual funds based on where they invest,
some of which we have tried to capture below. What we provide you with here is not an
extensively categorized list of mutual funds, but rather a few popular ones to get you started.
Open-ended funds: They are mutual funds that allow you to invest and redeem
investments at any time, i.e. they are perpetual in nature. They are liquid in nature and
Close-ended funds: These are the schemes have a fixed maturity date. You can only
invest at the time of the new fund offer and redemption can only be done on maturity.
You cannot purchase the units of a close-ended mutual fund whenever you please.
TYPES ON THE BASIS OF ASSET CLASSES:
1.Equity Mutual Funds :These funds invest at least 65% of their assets in stocks of
companies listed on the stock exchange. They are more suitable as long-term investments (>
5 years) as stocks can be volatile in the short term. They have the potential to offer higher
returns but also come with high risk. Here are a few types of equity mutual funds–

eligible for tax deduction under section 80C, of the Income Tax Act, 1961 up to Rs 1.5
Lakh per annum. ELSS also comes with a lock-in of 3 years from the date of
investment.

Index Funds: An Index Fund is a type of mutual fund that simply impersonates an
index. So when you invest in index funds, fund managers deploy your money in the
same companies and in the same proportion as the index they are tracking. For
instance, an Index Fund tracking SENSEX will buy all the 30 stocks that are part of
SENSEX, and it will do so in the same proportion. Whenever a stock is removed from
SENSEX, the index fund will also remove it from its portfolio, And if some new
stocks are added to the SENSEX, then the fund will also replicate the changes in its
portfolio.
securities, corporate bonds, and other debt instruments. They are not affected by stock market
volatility and hence, can offer more stable returns compared to equity mutual funds. The
types of debt mutual funds are differentiated on the basis of the maturity period of the
securities they hold. Let’s look at a few types of debt mutual funds- is
Liquid Funds invest in debt securities and higher-rated securities which have a
maturity period of fewer than 91 days. This makes them relatively less risky than
most other categories because a lower maturity mitigates any interest rate volatility
(which is the risk of loss resulting from a change in interest rates). Liquid funds are a
good avenue for parking emergency funds alternative to bank savings accounts.
Overnight Funds invest in securities with a maturity of one day. These funds come
with low risks safety again because of shorter maturity periods, the interest rate risk is
on the lower side. These are commonly used by corporates to park their funds.

periods. The nature of investment makes it more suitable for a long-term investment
Short Duration Funds invest in debt and other money market securities such that the
average maturity of the portfolio is between 1-3 years. They are more suited for
investors looking at an investment time frame of 1-3 years and moderate risk appetite.
[Macaulay Duration represents the time required to generate returns equal to your
investment in bonds]
3.Hybrid Mutual Funds invest in both equity and debt in varying proportions depending on
the investment objective of the fund. Thus, hybrid funds give you diversified exposure to
various asset classes. Hybrid funds are categorized on the basis of their allocation to equity
securities and the remaining 10-25% in equity securities. Because of this allocation,
they may prove to be relatively less risky than, say, an aggressive hybrid fund.
Balanced Advantage Funds, also known as dynamic asset allocation funds keep their
investments in equity and debt dynamic in nature. As per the market movement, their
allocation to both asset classes keeps changing so as to maximize the gains and
1. Lumpsum – When you want to invest a significant amount in a mutual fund in one
go. For example, if you had a sum of Rs 1 lakh to invest then you could go in for
lumpsum investment and invest the entire amount of Rs 1.0 lakh at one go in a
mutual fund of your choice. The units allotted to you will depend on the NAV of
that fund on that particular day. If the NAV is Rs 1000, you will end up getting 100
2. SIP – You also have the option to invest small amounts periodically. In the above
example, say, you don’t have Rs 1 Lakh but can commit to an investment of Rs
10,000 per month for 10 months, and you can align your investments with your
cash flows. This way of investing is known as Systematic Investment Plan (SIP).
SIP encourages regular investment of fixed amounts bi-monthly, monthly, quarterly
and so on, depending on your need and the options available with the mutual fund.
This method of investing inculcates a discipline of investment and also eliminates any need to
look for the right time to invest. Many investors try to time the market which generally
requires considerable time and expertise. What a SIP does instead is to average out your costs
and the investor doesn’t need to time the market. When the NAV is low, it gets you higher
units and vice versa. SIPs, when done regularly over the long term, can help you build a more

get some clarity on what they are and how they differ.
Capital gain is the profit generated from selling an asset at a higher value than its cost. For
instance, if you hold units of a mutual fund scheme that you purchased when the NAV was
₹140, you will generate a capital gain when the price moves above ₹140, and you sell the
units.
However, an important thing to note is that capital gains are only realized when the mutual
fund units are redeemed. Hence, it’s only at the time of redemption that the mutual fund
capital gains tax accrues. The tax on mutual fund redemption, therefore, will need to be paid
when the income tax returns are filed in the coming financial year.
Dividends are another way that mutual fund investors can earn income from a fund. The
mutual fund declares dividends based on the distributable surplus it has accumulated.
Dividends are distributed at the fund’s discretion and become taxable as soon as they’re paid
out to the investors. Investors pay tax on dividends when they receive the dividend from their
mutual funds. The old and new mutual fund dividend tax rules have been discussed in the
following section.
Taxation on Dividends
The Finance Act, 2020 introduced an amendment withdrawing Dividend Distribution Tax.
Dividend income from mutual funds was tax-free for investors before March 31, 2020. The
fund houses that declared dividends deducted a Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) before
paying it to the mutual fund investors. Now, the entire dividend income is taxable in the
hands of the investor as per the income tax slab under the head “income from other sources.”
TDS (tax deducted at source) is also applicable to the dividend distributed by the mutual fund
scheme. As per the changed rules now, when the mutual fund distributes the dividend to its
investors, the AMC must deduct 10% TDS u/s 194K if the total dividend paid to an investor
exceeds ₹5,000 during a financial year. When you pay your taxes, you can claim the 10%
TDS that has already been deducted by the AMC and only pay the balance.
You can use TDS Calculator to calculate the tax deducted at source on dividend income
earned through mutual funds. Using the TDS calculator, ensures you avoid underpayment or
overpayment of taxes while ensuring compliance with the income tax regulations.
The tax on mutual funds capital gains depends on the types of mutual fund scheme you are
invested in and how long have you held the units of the scheme for. Based on this, let us
First, let’s talk about the terms long-term capital gains (LTCG) and short-term capital gains
(STCG) and what they mean. LTCG is the capital gain generated from an asset that an
investor holds for a long duration (i.e., a long holding period), while STCG is the capital gain
The terms long and short duration differ for equity and debt schemes for tax purposes. For
instance, for capital gain on mutual funds to be treated as long-term, your holding period
must be at least 12 months for equity-oriented schemes, but 36 months for debt-oriented
schemes. The following table gives an overview of the holding periods required for capital

INTRODUCTION
If you are a mutual fund investor looking for a dynamic portfolio, then hybrid mutual funds
are right for you, these funds give you the best of both worlds-equity and debt. Hybrid mutual
funds help you meet your financial goals at a comparatively balanced risk and profits ratio.
Hybrid mutual funds are types of mutual funds that invest in more than one asset class. Most
often, they are a combination of Equity and Debt assets, and sometimes they also include
The key philosophies behind hybrid funds are – asset allocation, correlation, and
diversification. Asset Allocation is the process of deciding how to distribute wealth among
various asset classes, and correlation is the co-movement of returns of the assets, and
diversification is to have more than one asset in a portfolio.Since the sources of risk and
factors affecting returns are similar for the investment options within an asset class, they tend
to exhibit a high level of correlation in returns, whereas investment options across asset
Portfolio risk can be reduced by combining assets that have a low correlation. Hybrid mutual
fund schemes diversify the investment within multiple asset classes to try and achieve
maximum returns at minimum possible risk. The allocation to each asset class is decided by
the fund manager basis the investment objective of the fund and the market condition.
Like any other investment, it is important to understand the various parameters such as
investment risk, expected returns, investment horizon, and costs involved before making the
investment decision.
Returns: Hybrid Funds don’t offer guaranteed returns. Their returns are affected by
the performance of the underlying investments. The equity market performance will
affect the returns to the tune of equity exposure of the fund. The returns of an
aggressive oriented hybrid fund will be more correlated with the equity markets as
its performance lags the funds with 100% equity allocation, and in a falling market, it
will outperform pure equity funds. Dynamic Asset Allocation fund can move between
equity and debt without any caps, and they increase/decrease their allocation to
equities and debt depending upon the outcome of financial models based on which the
fund is managed.
Risk: Investment in hybrid funds is not devoid of risk. The risk in a hybrid fund
primarily depends upon the proportion of equity holding in the portfolio. The higher
the equity component, the riskier the fund. The segment of the equity market in which
the fund invests and the strategy used will define the risk of the equity component. In
the case of debt-oriented funds, risk will be defined by whether the debt portion is
managed for interest income or capital gains. A fund that gets its return mainly from
interest income of debt securities may be less risky than a fund that relies on gains
from price appreciation. Arbitrage funds are low-risk products as no directional call is
taken.
Time Horizon: Hybrid funds are suited for a medium-term time horizon say from 3-5
years. The longer the time horizon, the better the chances of getting stable, higher
returns.
Cost: Like any other mutual funds, hybrid funds also charge a fee known as
the expense ratio. The lower the expense ratio, the better for the investor. Although a
high expense ratio impacts the fund returns, it is not necessary that the high expense
the proportions in each asset and the investment style are determined by the fund
managers. Investors cannot influence how the various components may be chosen or
combined.
With so many hybrid funds to choose from, even the most seasoned investor can get a little
thrown off. So, the Securities and Exchange Board of India issues a circular regularly to
classify different hybrid funds. Based on the latest SEBI circular, we have listed the seven
As the name indicates, a balanced hybrid fund balances its equity and debt investment. It
invests a minimum of 40% and a maximum of 60% in either one of them. For example, if
Balanced Fund ABC invests 55% of its portfolio in equity, it needs to invest 45% in debt
instruments. The aim behind investing in a balanced hybrid fund is capital appreciation in the
Quite a strategic play, an arbitrage hybrid fund buys assets in the cash market or spot market,
called so because the transactions are settled on the spot. Simultaneously, the fund manager
leverages the volatility of the markets and sells the futures market's holdings to profit from
the difference in the prices of the stocks and futures contracts. An arbitrage fund scheme
This one likes to play with equity, debt, and derivatives to bring its investors a balance of risk
and returns. They invest 65-100% of their funds into equity and equity-linked assets, while 0-
With a conservative 10-25% of the total funds being invested in equity, you know why this
type of hybrid fund investment is called 'conservative.' This type of fund's objective is to give
its investor regular income by investing 75-90% of its funds in the debt asset class.
When 65-80% of the funds are allocated to the equity asset class, you will rightly call it an
aggressive hybrid fund, won't you? The rest of the funds are invested in debt instruments,
Why invest in just one asset class when you can put your eggs in multiple baskets? In multi-
asset allocation, you invest in at least three asset classes: equity, debt, gold, gold-oriented
schemes, and others. Each asset class needs to have at least a 10% allocation in the overall
hybrid fund. It is up to the fund manager's judgment on how much to invest in which asset
class.
Also known as 'balanced advantage funds,' this hybrid fund can go from 100% investment in
tend to offer better returns than debt funds and are preferred by many low-risk investors.
Further, new investors who are unsure about stepping into the equity markets tend to turn
towards hybrid funds. This is because the debt component offers stability while they test the
equity ‘waters’.
Hybrid funds allow investors to make the most out of equity investments while cushioning
The benefits of investing in a mutual fund are further magnified when it is hybrid. Let's take a
You get access to investing in 2 asset classes by choosing one hybrid fund. As an investor,
DiversificationYes, investing in equity and debt is inherent with a hybrid mutual fund.
However, the fund manager can go further and allocate a portion of the equity to small-cap,
mid-cap, and large-cap stocks to bring in more diversification and lower the risk.
Have a penchant for adventure? Then you can invest in an aggressive hybrid fund. Prefer to
play it safe but like to indulge in some risk once in a while? Then a conservative hybrid fund
is available to you. Whatever your risk profile, there is a hybrid mutual fund scheme for you.
Dynamic buying and selling
A hybrid mutual fund allows the fund manager (and indirectly the investor) to sell the assets
when the price is high and buy when the price is low. This allowance for changing the asset
allocation within regulatory limits benefits those who invest in hybrid funds.
Unless you have more than 24 hours in your day, it can be challenging to keep track of your
mutual fund investments and make modifications as per the latest market updates, along with
your other 1000 everyday responsibilities. That's why having a fund manager to rebalance
your portfolio according to the changing geopolitical statuses and market conditions becomes
a boon.Fairly convinced of the benefits of a hybrid fund? Okay, then let's consider the kind of
Access multiple asset classes with a single fund: One of the clear advantages of
hybrid mutual funds is that instead of investing in different funds to meet the need for
different asset classes, an investor can access multiple asset classes in a single
product.
Active Risk Management: Hybrid mutual fund provides active risk management
through portfolio diversification and asset allocation. They manage risk by combining
Caters to various risk profiles: These funds can offer varying levels of risk tolerance
schemes for the risk-taker and debt-oriented schemes for the risk-averse and the
Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund for those who do not want to stick to a fixed Asset
allocation but want to move basis market views without taking the calls themselves.
Arbitrage for investors who are looking for stable returns in a volatile environment.
Equity-oriented hybrid mutual funds- schemes that invest 65% and above in any form of
equities- and arbitrage hybrid funds are taxed in the following way:
If the fund is held for beyond a year, it will attract a long-term capital gains tax at the
rate of 10%. However, yields of up to Rs. 1 lakh in a financial year are exempted from
When the funds are held for less than 1 year, they are considered short-term capital
If they are held for more than 3 years or 36 months, they are taxed at 20%. This
When the funds are held for less than 3 years or 36 months, the gains are added to the
Debt funds As per the applicable tax slab As per the applicable tax slab
Hybrid debt-oriented funds As per the applicable tax slab As per the applicable tax slab
Now that we know how the capital gains tax is calculated for different types of mutual funds
depending on your holding period, let’s see how you can declare your mutual fund income.
