Budget 2025: Will FM Nirmala Sitharaman simplify taxation on mutual funds to encourage investment?
The taxation of mutual funds depends on the type of mutual fund (equity and debt) and the duration of the investment. In Budget 2024, the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax on equity funds has been raised from 10% to 12.5%, while the short-term capital gains (STCG) tax has increased from 15% to 20%.
