Can i first adjust short term capital
gain on debt fund... then adjust short term capital gain on equity funds..
However, while FD returns are futuristic, Debt fund returns are past returns and since interest rates in general have gone down, we might see its
impact on debt funds too.
By paying indexation based long term capital gains
on debt funds instead of tax on FD interest, they are able to save a few precious rupees.
Long - term gains, which is gains
on debt fund units held for over 36 months, are subject to long - term capital gains tax (LCGT) at the rate of 20 % after adjusting the price considering inflation Indexation
During last year's
review on Debt Funds, I had selected SBI Magnum Gilt Fund, IDFC's G - Sec Fund and & L&T Gilt funds under Gilt Funds - Intermediate to Long - Term category.
