The scheme seeks to generate income through investing predominantly in AA+ and above rated corporate bonds while maintaining the optimum balance of yield, safety and liquidity.
Mutual fund gains are capital gains, taxed when you redeem, and the rate depends on what the scheme holds and how long you held the units. The rules below are those in force after the Finance Act of 2024 for redemptions from 23 July 2024, with the changes of April 2025 for gold, silver and international funds. Rupix is not a tax adviser; confirm the treatment for your own case.
Debt schemes, those keeping more than sixty-five percent in bonds and money market instruments, are taxed at your income tax slab rate on the whole gain whenever you redeem units bought on or after 1 April 2023, however long you held them. Units bought before that date and held for more than twenty-four months are long-term, taxed at twelve and a half percent without indexation.
Income distributed by the scheme under the IDCW option is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, with tax deducted at source at ten percent once payouts exceed ten thousand rupees in a year, from 1 April 2025.
