A Mutual Fund Scheme which is based on Daily Dividends, The Daily Dividends will automatically get Re-invested. In this scenerio, if we recognise the dividends as Income and add back to Investments, the Investments are not being valued at cost even if they are long term in nature. Please assist me on this. Thanks in advance.

so far as long term is concerned... you have to maintain the records on daily basis. So on any given point of sale, you can be sure of the nature of sold MF units i.e long term or short term.

No I am not saying so. If you are talking of accounting as per companies act, then all the dividend reinvested will be added to the actual cost of investment & on any sale point you will have the total cost (including dividend reinvested).

if you are saying for the Income tax, where FIFO method is followed, then the only way is : you have to maintain the records on daily basis. So on any given point of sale, you can be sure of the nature of sold MF units i.e long term or short term.
