Tax: Depends on the strategy's asset mix. Equity-oriented strategies (at least 65% in listed Indian equity): gains taxed at 20% if units are held up to 12 months, 12.5% if held longer. Strategies with more than 65% in debt: gains taxed at your income-tax slab rate, whatever the holding period. Other mixes follow different rules. See this strategy's ISID and consult a tax adviser.
