Long term capital gain tax on gold mutual funds- NRI Investment
June 08, 2012
I
shall appreciate if you could let me know what is long term capital gain
tax on gold saving mutual fund. XXXXX MF have deducted 22% on the gold
mutual fund I sold after 1 year of possession. Which method they should
follow 11% or 20% with indexation. I had them for 1 year 12 months. What
indexation they should apply? Hope to hear soon from you
After reading your query it seems you tax status is NRI as tax is deducted at source.
In case of NRI's, TDS will be deducted on the sale proceeds. The TDS
will deducted depending upon whether it
is a short-term capital gain or long term capital gains.
The tax system for Gold Savings Fund or Gold ETF is similar to that of
non-equity mutual funds like debt funds. When computing income tax,
gold exchange traded funds are treated as debt funds.
How is TDS calculated for NRI Investment ?
Long Term Capital Gain Tax on Gold mutual Funds for NRI

Scheme(s) = 20% with indexation benefit. (A)
Surcharge = A x 10% = 2% (B)
Education Cess = A + B x 3% = 0.66% (C)
TDS to be deducted = A + B + C = 22.66%

Education Cess = A + B x 3% = 0.66% (C)
TDS to be deducted = A + B + C = 22.66%

Requests for a change in mobile number or e-mail ID may be given to the mutual funds or the registrar directly and you don't have to submit such requests to CVL.
Also many AMC's (mutual funds) accept the request on phone and verification is done by getting the call for verification and confirmation.
I remember my email address was wrongly mentioned in account statement and i called the customer care and asked for change, they asked some questions for verification and also told me i will get a verification and confirmation call to get that updated in mutual fund records.
Where as for change in address in mutual fund records, investors in mutual funds have to comply with the Know Your Customer (KYC) norms. This is a one-time exercise and the investors need to provide proof of identity and proof of residence (address) to CVL. The KYC database of investors is maintained by CVL and is provided to the mutual funds.

i have investment in minor s name in MF and bank acc is mine Can I take a redemption in my account
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteIts better to open bank account in minor's name, update minor's bank details in mutual fund records and then put redemption, as banks nowadays don't accept such cheques where investment in made in minor's name and cheque is issued in guardian name, even clearly mentioned in redemption cheque issued in favor of Minor (name) represented by(guardian).
Many of my clients contacted me as they don't get Direct Credit in bank account and bank doesn’t accept cheque in favor of minor - represented by guardian.
So, they follow process of opening bank account and then can able to deposit cheque.
Most important thing to note:
If the bank account is held as 'Minor u/g Mother' (in mutual fund records), then the bank account will also need to specify the mother as the guardian (not the father).
Means have same details in both the records bank as well as mutual fund records.
Some bank's accepts cheque, but my suggestion would be first update minor's bank details and then do the redemption.
