Want to pay LOWER TAX on your Interest Income? 💱💰
Then consider investment in Long Term Debt MFs with a time horizon of 3 to 5 years. 💰💰
▶️In this case after 3 years your Investment will be categorised as a Long Term Asset and
▶️will be eligible for Indexation Benefits under Income Tax Act.
▶️This benefit is exclusively given for long term assets for adjustment towards inflation
▶️Moreover tax is payable only @ 20% on the excess.
🔶This benefit is not available for Investment in Fixed Deposits where the entire interest is taxable as per your slab rate.
For eg.
⏩You invested Rs 1,00,000 in 2019-20. @ 8% p.a for 3 years.
⏩If you redeem this investment in 2022-23 the cost price will be considered as 1,00,000 * 331/301 which will be Rs 1,09,967 due to indexation
⏩Total Redemption proceeds will be Rs 1,25,971.
⏩Hence your gain will be only Rs 16,004 (Rs 1,25,971 less Rs 1,09,997)
⏩Tax is payable only on Rs 16,004 and not on Rs 25,971. 💰💰💰
▶️You can save on taxes by Investing in Long Term Debt Funds for a period of 3 to 5 years.
▶️However make sure that you choose the Growth Option and not the Dividend Option.
