Disclaimer: Past performance may or may not be sustained in future. Exit load has not been taken into calculation. The above calculator is just for illustration purpose and one should consult his/her financial advisor before making any investment. SWP option for monthly and quarterly are shown but weekly, half yearly and annually options are also available. If dates selected falls on holiday, then calculation is done based on the next working day. Investments made in mutual fund schemes carry high risk and there is no assurance or guarantee that the objective of the schemes will be achieved. The above illustration / calculation should not be considered as any guarantee of returns to the investors / who are opting for SWP.
In the above calculations, it has been assumed that investor falls under highest tax bracket (i.e., 30%) and total income of the investor does not exceed Rs. 1 crore. Gains on the redemption of units of mutual fund are treated as capital gains for income tax purpose if such units are held as capital assets. Investment in equity funds (having at least 65% equity allocation) for not more than 12 months is considered as short-term and attracts short-term capital gains tax of 15%. Gains from equity funds held for more than 12 months attracts long term capital gains tax of 10% (without indexation benefit) if the gains exceed Rs.1,00,000 in a year. Investment in non-equity funds for not more than 36 months is considered as short-term and attracts short-term capital gains tax at applicable tax/slab rates. Gains from non-equity mutual funds held for more than 36 months attracts long term capital gains tax of 20% (with indexation benefit). Investment in Specified Mutual Funds (having not more than 35% equity allocation) made on or after April 1, 2023 are considered short term irrespective of holding period and attract short term capital gains tax at applicable tax/slab rates. The basic tax would be increased by surcharge at applicable rates based on total income and Health & Education Cess of 4%.
At the time of the redemption of units, redemption amount comprises two parts. One is the invested amount and the other is gains on the invested amount. STCG/LTCG tax is applicable only on the gains made on the redemption units. In case of Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP), at the time of redemption of each instalment, investor needs to pay STCG/LTCG tax only on the gains part and not on the invested amount. Over a period of time with market appreciation, in each SWP instalment, invested amount (principal) component decreases and growth/gains part increases. Thus, it helps the investor over a period of time to consume less principal amount and thereby allowing the balance principal amount to grow further.
