iAbout MF Switch / Exit

Switching typically counts as a sale for tax. Understand tax hit before reallocating.

Computation Logic

Holding days = sell โˆ’ buy (UTC). Gain = sell โˆ’ buy. If holding > 365 & gain > 0 โ‡’ LTCG tax on (gain โˆ’ 100k). Else STCG tax on gain if positive.

Net gain = gain โˆ’ tax (never negative).

Limitations & Caveats
  • Ignores indexation (debt funds) & surcharge/cess.
  • Multiple purchase lots not modelled (FIFO needed).
  • Corporate actions & dividend reinvestment not adjusted.
