Your ATM Pin is now compulsory on all purchases on debit cards at retail outlets..
As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, from 1 December 2013, all debit card transactions at retail outlets will need to be validated using the existing ATM PIN. The move was introduced to reduce the incidence of frauds in payment systems.
Now every time you swipe your card at a merchant outlet, you will have to enter the personal identification number (PIN) that you use at an automated teller machine (ATM).
Here's how your Debit Card with PIN works
➡Step 1. The merchant swipes/inserts your Debit Card into a Point Of Sale (POS) machine.
➡Step 2. The merchant then enters the transaction amount.
➡Step 3. The POS machine prompts for a PIN to be entered by you.
➡Step 4. You enter your Debit Card ATM PIN in the POS machine to complete the transaction.
Safety tips to keep in mind while transacting using your Debit Card
✔Never share your Debit Card ATM PIN with anyone, including the merchant.
✔You should always insist on entering the PIN yourself.
✔Use your hand or body to shield your PIN from onlookers while you are entering the PIN.
✔Keep your Debit Card in sight during any transaction, especially at restaurants and fuel stations.
✔Remember to take your Debit Card back when the transaction is complete and ensure that it is your Debit Card only

Tax On Debt Mutual Funds In India.....
Short term capital gains on Debt funds
Non equity Funds (which holds less than 65% of its expousre in equity)Short term means period of holding is less than a year.
Short Term Capital gains tax is deducted according to individual investor's income tax slab.
Example: Suppose you are getting Rs.25000 gain by selling debt fund within a year and if your annual salary is Rs.5,00,000, then your taxable income will be Rs 5,25,000.
Example: Suppose you are getting Rs.25000 gain by selling debt fund within a year and if your annual salary is Rs.5,00,000, then your taxable income will be Rs 5,25,000.
Long Term Capital Gains
Long term capital gains means units are held for more than a year, so tax will be 10% on gains without indexations or 20% on gains with indexation plus applicable surcharge and education cess.
Now how we can calculate long term gains gain with indexation
Example: Indexation helps you to offset your gain with the effect of inflation.
Example: Indexation helps you to offset your gain with the effect of inflation.
Government will notify the Cost of inflation Index every year.
Table Source: Tax Point India
In indexation, the investment cost is raised to inflation cost for the period the investment is held. This is done by using a cost inflation index number released by the central tax authorities every year.
Suppose you have invested 2 Lakh in a debt fund in April 2012 and is selling in May 2013 for 2,21,000
Your original investment = 2, 00,000
Your Long Term Capital gain is 21,000 (sale price - cost price)
Indexed cost: 2, 00,000 x 939/852 = 220422.535
Capital Gain after indexation = 2, 21,000 – 220422.535 = 577.465 (sale price- indexed cost)
So, in this case, you have to pay 20% tax on the gain of 577.465/- only and not on the gain of 21,000! Your tax liability is only 115/-. This is the benefit of indexation.
If you don’t want to apply indexation, you have to pay 10% tax on the gain of 21,000. Then the tax liability will be 2100/-.
How does debt mutual funds taxation differ for NRI investors?
If you are an NRI and you invest in an non equity mutual fund and redeem it, tax will be deducted at source. This is only for NRIs, not for resident individual investors.
Short Term Capital Gains
TDS on STCG is applicable at 30% for debt mutual funds.
TDS on STCG is applicable at 30% for debt mutual funds.
Long Term Capital Gains
TDS on LTCG will be applicable at 20%.

Is the dividend re-investment in a Tax Saver fund also subject to a lock-in period of 3 years?
Is the dividend re-investment in a Tax Saver fund also subject to a lock-in period of 3 years? Also post completion of the 3 year lock-in period, can the non-dividend part be redeemed?
Any investment made into an Equity Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS) is subject to a lock-in period of 3 years, same holds even for dividends from ELSS which is re-invested if the investor has chosen the dividend re-investment option.
The implication for the investor is that some portion of his investment will always be locked-in because dividend declared is re-invested and will attract a three year lock-in.
However, any portion of the investment, whether originally made or as a result of dividend re-invested, which has completed the lock-in period of three years, can be redeemed by the investor.
Alternatively, investors may choose the growth option while investing, or if opted for dividend reinvestment and want to make changes, he can do so by making changes in dividend option, i.e from dividend reinvestment to dividend payout.

This means if you hold units of equity fund for a period of more than 12 months, you can avoid the short-term capital gains tax.
