How ULIPs can beat mutual funds after LTCG tax?
ULIPs always had the edge, but the new LTCG tax gives them more punch. Even before the Budget proposed to tax long-term gains from stocks and mutual funds, Ulips had an edge over equity mutual funds. If balanced schemes or equity mutual funds were held for less than one year, the short-term capital gains were taxed at 15%. But since Ulips are insurance products, the short-term gains were tax free under Sec 10(10D). That advantage has become even bigger after the new LTCG tax kicks in from 1 April. The gains from balanced and equity funds will be taxed at 10% but income from Ulips will be tax free . The tax-free advantage of Ulips extends beyond equity funds to the fixed income space. Ulips not only offer equity funds but also debt and liquid fund options to investors. Income from fixed deposits is taxed at the marginal rate while LTCG from debt funds are taxed at 20% after indexation. But gains from Ulips are tax free. Whether you make short-term or long-term gains from any fund.
