This scheme is taxed as a debt-oriented fund under current rules. For units bought on or after 1 April 2023, the Finance Act 2023 removed both indexation benefit and long-term capital gains treatment: every gain, regardless of how long the units are held, is added to the investor's income and taxed at their applicable income tax slab rate.
