I had invested Rs 10000 in 1000 units of UTI CCP scholarship plan in Oct 2000.And as per the provision of the said scheme the redemption proceeds is payable to the beneficiary after completion of 18 years of age in 4 instalments(1 instalment every year). I want to know in the above case how it will be treated for the calculation of the long term capital gain tax and what will be the capital gain tax rate in the above case i.e. whether it will be 20 %,10 %,or 0% and if it can be assumed that security transaction tax is paid by UTI in the above case.
