Since aggressive hybrid funds invest 65%-80% in equities, these funds are taxable under the Income Tax Act 1961 and are taxed at the time of redemption on the profits gained. The gains are classified under Short Term Capital Gains (STCG), which are applicable for a holding period of less than 12 months and taxed at 15%, while the gains on a holding period above 12 months or more are taxed at 10% under LTCG (Long Term Capital Gains).
