You can also save\u00a0tax on mutual funds\u00a0if invested intelligently. For example, if you invest your money in a fixed deposit scheme, your interest income will be fully taxable. However, when you do so in mutual funds, tax liability arises only when you sell units of mutual funds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Continue reading to learn about the various kinds of investment regimes and their respective taxation schemes to obtain\u00a0tax benefits on mutual funds\u00a0and make an informed decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Mutual Fund Tax Calculator<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is a simple tool that you can use for\u00a0mutual fund tax calculation\u00a0for a particular financial year. All you need to state is the principal investment amount, the nature of the mutual fund, and the time you stayed invested in order to calculate capital gains, which you can then use to calculate mutual fund taxation. You can explore Jupiter&#8217;s Mutual Fund Tax calculator here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can investment in Mutual Funds help you save on tax?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Following are the three main kinds of\u00a0tax benefit mutual funds:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Investment in tax-saving mutual funds &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0You can invest in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS), wherein the principal amount you invest is deducted from your taxable income. As a result, your\u00a0income tax on mutual funds\u00a0is decreased up to a maximum of Rs. 1.5 lakh as per Section 80C. However, remember that you have to stay invested for at least three years.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Investment in Long-term Domestic Equity &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0You can also gain\u00a0tax benefits on mutual funds\u00a0if you hold your investment in a domestic equity-oriented period for more than a year. Such a gain is called long-term\u00a0capital gain on a mutual funds\u00a0and is exempted from taxes. However, the principal investment does not offer any tax benefit in this case.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Investment in long-term Debt Funds &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0You can avail of indexation tax benefits if you invest in long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/jupiter.money\/blog\/investments\/debt-funds-in-india-debt-funds-interest-rates-benefits-taxation\/\">debt funds<\/a>; that is, you hold your investment for a minimum of 3 years. But what is indexation? In simple words, this means that your gains would be adjusted using the cost inflation index. For example, suppose you made long-term capital gains of Rs. 20,000 after holding an investment for three years. In that case, you don\u2019t pay tax on the entire amount but only on Rs. 15,555 after being adjusted for inflation, thereby reducing\u00a0income tax on mutual funds.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>What is a Mutual Fund?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A mutual fund is a financial tool operated by professional money managers wherein money from the fund\u2019s investors is pooled and invested in diverse securities. Thus, it allows new and individual investors to make money from professionally-managed portfolios. You can participate in both gains and losses of the fund in proportion to your investment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>How do Mutual Funds Work?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Mutual funds work by investing the pooled money from several investors into bonds, equity and other securities. As a result, you get immediate diversification in your investment and hence lower risk.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Also, remember that since mutual funds work on shared investments, the fund\u2019s profit and losses are also proportionately shared among the shareholders.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Moreover, mutual funds offer you a range of options. You can either invest and make money in stock\/equity, fixed-income\/ bond, or balanced funds. Also, several sub-categories allow you to invest even more specifically. For example, you can invest in sector funds if you feel that a particular industry is poised for growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Importance of Mutual Funds While Investing<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Mutual funds offer a great investment tool with the following key advantages:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Instant Diversification and Lower Risk<\/strong>: Mutual funds allow you to invest in multiple securities under professional supervision that safeguards you from market risk.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>No Need for Big Investment:\u00a0<\/strong>You don\u2019t need a large sum of money to be able to invest in mutual funds as it is a collective investment.
