Profit needs to be shown only in the year in which you are redeeming the units.
As long as you are holding the units, no need to show the notional profit.
It will be under the head Capital Gains.
If you are holding the units for more than one year then it will be long term asset. Long term Capital Gain on the investments in mutual fund is exempt from tax.
