  2. This article was very helpful to understand where to invest? I am NRI and would like to invest in MFs. please clarify what benefit on tax i get by investing in mutual funds. if i come back as Resident indian, what will be tax deduction rules for mutual fund investments. this tax if any will be applicable when i sale the funds? please reply.

    1. Archana, There are no seperate taxation rules for NRI’s in mutual funds. If you have MF account, start investing in them. In equity funds, if you are getting any returns/profits after 1 year, they are tax free.
