Brings bank FDs on-par with debt MFs.
A big positive for banks.
Debt mutual funds bought after April 1st, 2023 & held for over 3 years, will no longer enjoy indexation benefit nor will be eligible for long term capital gain tax (20% tax rate). View: Currently, investors in debt funds pay income tax on capital gains according to their income tax slab for a holding period of three years and after that, they are taxed at the rate of 20% with indexation benefits or 10% without indexation. This amendment in the recent Finance bill 2023 brings bank FDs on-par with debt MFs. The proposal is likely to give a boost to bank fixed deposits & also pure equity funds and do away with the arbitrage between different debt instruments. The objective is to plug a tax loophole used by high net worth individuals and family offices for investments. This is positive for banks and negative for AMCs.
