Will be taxable as short term / long term capital gains depending on the period of holding as no STT is paid. Had you sold it and paid STT then they would have been exempt u/s. 10(38).

Note : 10(38) is applicable only to units of equity oriented fund. In case of other mutual funds it would remain taxable
