Please Clarify


Dear IFA Galaxy Members

Please see the following email from Mr. Babu, of KAMFA, Bangalore.  

We welcome your comments on the article written by Value Research.  

Do you think Value Research is correct????????   

http://www.valueresearchonline.com/story/h2_storyView.asp?str=17390


We are surprised to see that Value research had removed this from the website if you click the link above you can note that.  So here is the Screen short for you to read




"If you had not invested in the tax planning funds to save tax, the three-year lock-in does not apply which is mandatory for only those seeking tax deductions by investing in these funds. You can redeem your investments in these two funds whenever you wish. As both these funds are like any other equity fund, you will not be faced with paying capital gains tax on your gains when you redeem as you have already been in these funds for over one year"

As per my views they are wrong (Even Value Research can make mistakes).  

We request you to send your feed back to feedback@valueresearchonline.com with a Copy to us.

  2. Of course Value Research is wrong.
    Otherwise, everyone will start using this option at their convenience.
    That is, if the market has boomed and the fund has given great returns, then the investor will redeem before 3 years and then say that he DID not invest for the sake of Tax Saving purposes....

  3. Dear Friends

    According to my knowledge, Yes it is possible, provided a letter from Income Tax Department stating that the person did not used it for section 80C benefit and he is free from lock in of 3 years, the redemption request can be sent alongwith the letter from IT department to the Fund House for REDEMPTION. Otherwise there is a lock in for 3 years.

    Hope I am right otherwise pl let me know the correct answer from the Tax Expert.

  4. I really agree with the point. ELSS fund are with lock in period from ab initio, eventhough the investor may not have invested for tax saving point.

    It is very simple. In ELSS category. One can not redeem investment before expiry of 3 year from the date of investment.

  5. Dear Sir,

    Actually we are going by AMC views. As per all AMCs funds invested in specific funds every one has to abide by that. When you are investing in Tax Saving funds specificaly it is meant for tax saving purpose only. Whether you avail tax benefit or not , that is different issue and it compulsorily locked in for another three years.So far I am giving tax saving products like that only. Of course it is news to me. Let us wait for some time .In my opinion the right person to clarify is AMC friends.

    I think one cannot withdrew their funds from the Tax saving Fund befor 3 years.
    To Clerify: One of my Investor has invested in SBI Tax Saver and he deposited the Redemption slip directly 2 time but the fund house doesnot redem the funds the investor than contacted me and ask to help. After calling to Fund House I come to know that the investment was in march 2010 and he cannot redem the same befor 3 years

  10. Dear friends,

    Yes Value Research has also misguided the Investors hence Dhirendra Kumar must apologize in his website he must also resign all the post given by SEBI, as moral code of conduct.

  11. Rajiv Anand, MD of Axis MF, replied via twitter on this that there is no provision in the offer doc to redeem units before 3 years whether IT deduction was availed or not. He also mentioned that courts have upheld that ELSS units can not be redeemed before 3 years.
