The last date to file your taxes for the Financial Year 2020-21 is 31 December 2021. And one of the essential documents that you need to keep handy while filing your tax return is your mutual fund capital gains statement. It is crucial to determine your capital gains and file your tax returns appropriately.
If you invest in mutual funds, the capital gain is your profit on your mutual fund investment. E.g., if your investment of ₹50,000 becomes ₹75,000 and you redeem the entire investment, the capital gains would be ₹25,000.
As capital gain is an income, you need to show the realised gains from the mutual fund investments in the previous financial year.
In this article, we will see two simple ways to get your mutual fund capital gains statement from any Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA).
Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA)
You can use RTAs like CAMS and Karvy’s consolidated capital gains statement mailback service if you have investments across many investment platforms or through the physical route. RTAs take care of mutual funds’ back-office operations so that fund houses can concentrate on investment management and other opportunities. Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund and Sundaram Mutual Fund are exceptions as they have their own RTAs.
Instead of getting capital gains statements from individual mutual fund companies, you can get reports from RTAs, which will contain information on capital gains from all mutual fund houses they their service.
