Taxation for fund of funds (FoF) is similar to that of debt mutual funds. The redemption will qualify for long-term capital gains tax if your units are held for three years (36 months) or more. The long-term capital gains tax will be 20 per cent with the inflation indexation benefit.

If your investments are redeemed before three years (36 months), the short-term gains will be taxed as per your applicable Income Tax slab.
