Indian mutual funds (equity + debt + hybrid + REIT + close-ended + offshore) are the second most common capital asset held by senior 60+ parent NRI / OCI holders after listed equity. The tax mix differs sharply from listed equity (covered in #67) and from REIT/InvIT business trust (covered in #66). Listed MF units STT-paid (ETF + equity MF + hybrid MF) post-2018 acquisition get Section 111A short-term 15% + Section 112A long-term 10% above INR 1 lakh. Listed MF units STT-paid pre-2018 acquisition get full Section 10(38) grandfather exemption for LTCG + Section 111A short-term 15% for STCG. Unlisted close-ended MF units have Section 112 long-term 20% (holding > 24 months) + Section 50CA FMV method applicable for valuation (Rule 11UA + Form 49A + CA certificate). STT Securities Transaction Tax 0.001% on listed MF units (Section 99 OFA — lower rate than equity 0.1%).
For senior 60+ parent estate, MF units are commonly received through inheritance — Indian Succession Act 1925 Section 63 + Will + codicil + executor + probate + Letters of Administration + succession certificate + Hindu Succession Act 1956 Section 6 coparcener. Cost of acquisition = cost to previous owner per Section 49(2)(iii) + holding period includes previous owner's holding per Section 49(2AA) + 49(2B) + 49(2C). Section 55(2)(iii) FMV 2001 used if cost to previous owner not ascertainable (typically for inherited close-ended MF units pre-2001). Section 50C stamp duty NOT applicable to MF units (only to immovable property); Section 50CA FMV applicable to close-ended MF units on subsequent sale.
FEMA NRO demat account required for NRI heir holding inherited MF units; non-repatriable for 7 years (RBI Circular 47/2015 + 12/2015); after 7-year retention, repatriable within USD 1M / year LRS (FEMA Master Direction 2024). For inherited property, additionally 10-year retention if inheritance from person domiciled in US/UK/Canada/Australia. For SIP — each SIP installment is a separate acquisition event (cost of acquisition = per-installment NAV × number of units); for SWP — each SWP installment is a separate redemption event (taxable at applicable capital gains rate); for STP — transfer between schemes is taxable at applicable capital gains rate on the source scheme redemption.
PFIC default classification — INDIAN MUTUAL FUND UNITS HELD BY US PERSON are typically classified as Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) under IRC Section 1297 (income test: 75% or more of gross income is passive + asset test: 50% or more of assets produce passive income). Indian MF typically qualifies as PFIC because: (a) capital gains from equity holdings are passive; (b) interest from debt holdings is passive; (c) dividend income is passive. Without QEF election per IRC Section 1295, US person faces: (a) Section 1291 excess distribution tax (125% of ordinary income rate on gains treated as ordinary income + interest charge); (b) Section 1291(a)(2) 125% tax on PFIC sale gain; (c) PTEP (Passive Taxed Earnings and Profits) complexity; (d) Form 8621 must be filed annually. QEF election per IRC Section 1295 made on Form 8621 — requires PFIC Annual Information Statement from Indian MF (some MF fund houses provide; many do not — consult CA + tax counsel).
Section 194K TDS — 10% TDS on MF redemption to resident (Section 194K r.w.s. 194K inserted Finance Act 2023 + effective from 01-04-2024; replaces Section 194DA + Section 194K for non-resident portion). Section 195 r.w. Section 196D — 20% TDS + 5% surcharge + 4% cess = 21.84% effective TDS on MF redemption to NRI; lower rate via Section 197 + Form 13 + DTAA + TRC + Form 67. Section 196A — TDS on units of offshore funds (different from 196D); Section 196B — TDS on income from units of offshore mutual fund. Section 197 lower-rate certificate + Form 13 to claim DTAA benefit. Form 15G + Form 15H senior 80+ to avoid TDS on small redemptions.
For Black Money Act 2015 — undisclosed foreign MF holding triggers 30% tax + 30% penalty per Section 10 + 11 BMA + Section 56(2)(xi) deemed gift above INR 50,000 + Section 50CA FMV (for close-ended MF units). Section 10(38) grandfather LTCG pre-2018 + Section 54 + 54F + 54B + 54EC + 54GB rollover + Capital Gains Account Scheme CGAS (6 months deposit + 2 years utilisation) + Section 111A + 112 + 112A + STT + Indexation all apply to MF units sale + inheritance.
