Dear Experts Please tell the tax implications in case of sale of mutual funds which is under daily dividend reinvestment plan and sale is done within 12months of purchases?
Will there be any short term profit, as the difference in sale and purchase price is the dividend earned during the holding? [NAV is same during the whole period of holding] Or The difference will be shown in exempt income under the head "Income form other sources" as dividend received is exempt
But in my case, dividend is earned in mutual funds but not receive in bank as it is dividend reinvestment plan and now on redemption, the redemption value = cost +dividend earned.
I am confuse, as whether there will be any short term capital gain or there will no gain/loss as difference in amount received and invested is dividend.

During the time of re-investment of dividend, you do not have to pay tax as it is exempted but during the time of sale of you have to pay tax.
calculate separately for each allotment to decide whether it is short term or long term. less than 12 months-short term other case -long term
