How are international funds taxed in India?

International funds in India are taxed as non-equity (debt-oriented) funds for capital-gains purposes, because they typically hold under 65 percent in Indian equities. For units bought on or after April 2023, gains are added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, with no separate long-term rate or indexation. For example, a Rs 1,00,000 gain for someone in the 30 percent bracket adds about Rs 30,000 to tax. Holding-period thresholds and rules shift over time, so verify the treatment for your specific purchase date and fund structure before relying on it.
