Mutual funds are ideal as long term investment avenues for retail investors. To encourage investments in this avenue, the Government of India offers investors a spate of tax benefits thus ensuring maximum benefit from mutual funds held beyond a year.

Sample some of the key benefits and refer to the table for a detailed list of tax rates for different types of schemes

·       Avail deductions under Sec 80C of the Income Tax Act by investing up to a maximum of Rs. 1 lakh in designated Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS). Such investments have a compulsory lock in period of 3 years.

·       First time retail investors in equity with a gross total income of up to Rs. 12 lakh can invest up to Rs. 50,000 in specific MF schemes under Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme (RGESS) and benefit from deductions under Section 80 CCG

·       No tax is to be paid for redemption of units of an equity scheme held for over a year

·       In case of non-equity mutual funds, benefit from indexation (refer table below)

·       No tax is to be paid on dividends. The fund deducts a dividend distribution tax at source in case of non-equity schemes

Gold: What Can Trigger the Inevitable?

A stronger dollar or rising interest rates could derail the epic yellow metal mania   Before you sell that last piece of jewellery, keep in mind that the gold price will not go up indefinitely. There are number of reasons why it might crash. If you're over weighted in gold or commodities, the warning is the same: A stronger dollar, strengthening US economy or rising interest rates could derail the epic yellow metal mania. Who knows? Congress could even reach an agreement to clear up its balance sheet and pay down its debt. What are the chances of any of this happening? It's beyond the limits of my minuscule, clouded crystal ball, which is about the size of a pin-head.   Nevertheless, you should prepare your portfolio for any number of eventualities, which can be easily accomplished with exchange-traded funds. Gold is troublesome in my book because it really isn't an investment. It's a reserve currency of sorts that's heavily traded by institutional investor...

What is Statutory Liquidity Ratio - SLR?

Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Buy Gold Mutual Funds Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300 What is Statutory Liquidity Ratio - SLR ?   Last week, the RBI cut statutory liquidity ratio ( SLR ) by half a percentage point to 22.5%, effective June 14. By this, the central bank intends to release additional money into the banking system. SLR is the amount of funds that every commercial bank should have either through its holdings in government approved bonds and securities, gold or a combination of these assets. This is another way of ensuring enough liquidity for each bank before they lend to customers. By reducing SLR, the RBI released another half a percentage point of commercial banks' total deposits (in banking parlance, total demand and time liabilities that include FDs, savings and current accounts) to be free ...

7 Things You Should Look for in a Financial Planner

Recently, a new breed of professionals has emerged who are making financial plans for everyone and are not restricting themselves to investment planning. A financial plan includes planning for your taxes, retirement, kids' education and marriage, buying a home, estate planning or any other goals you may have. This new breed of professionals, known as financial planners, writes a plan for you with all your goals specifically laid down and then provides you with a road map on how to achieve these goals. They always give you a holistic account of all your finances, taking into account all your assets and liabilities, besides taking care of all the risks associated with you and your family and also the assets owned by you. These financial planners will first collect all the data related to your finances and the goals you have for future. These goals may be anything ranging from buying a home, to planning for your child's education to going on a vacation. After this exercise of d...

Market Pre-open session - How It works and Its benefits

   With an intention to reduce volatility in various scrips at the opening of the markets, and to arrive at the ideal opening price of a scrip, the exchanges have introduced a call auction process in the pre-open session from October 18.    The pre-open session is a new innovation to arrive at the ideal opening price of a scrip for the current trading session. The session intends to reduce volatility in the beginning of a day. Under this new arrangement, an exchange will collect orders for the first few minutes of this session. On the basis of orders received, it will arrive at the opening price and match the tradable orders to that price. The remaining orders will be moved to the normal trading session.    The call auction process will be initially introduced for scrips forming part of Nifty and Sensex, and trading in other scrips and F&O contracts will only begin at 9:15 am when normal market trading begins. Orders not will get traded during the order entry period in the pre-...

ASBA Option for Initial Public Offer (IPO)

IPO (initial public offering) applicants, particularly the unsuccessful ones, often have to face a double whammy of sorts. On the one hand they fail to get allotment of shares and on the other, they lose out on the interest during the period their money is locked —that is, if they have opted for the traditional method of issuing cheques for depositing the application money. However, if they choose the ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) facility, they can circumvent this problem. But do note that you cannot decide to make two applications – one by way of cheque payment and the other through ASBA. If you do so, it could be rejected on the grounds that it constitutes multiple applications. Introduced by Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) in 2008, using ASBA has become mandatory for all non-retail investors. Retail investors, though, continue to have the option of choosing between the old and new mechanisms. However, it is in your interest to opt for ASBA. He...
