About SBI Equity Savings Fund
SBI Equity Savings Fund is a equity savings fund managed by SBI Mutual Fund. Combine equity, arbitrage and debt, with at least 65% in equity including arbitrage positions.
The scheme aims to generate income by investing in arbitrage opportunities in the cash and derivatives segment of the equity market, and capital appreciation through a moderate exposure in equity.
The scheme's stated objective, as published by SBI Mutual Fund.
The NAV (net asset value) is the price of one unit of the fund. It is published by the fund house every business day and changes with the value of the fund's holdings. The Growth option reinvests all gains, so its NAV reflects the fund's total return.
Tax on your gains
How gains are taxed depends on how much equity the scheme holds. At 65% equity or more it follows equity rules — 12.5% on long-term gains above ₹1.25 lakh; below that, gains are usually taxed at your slab rate. The scheme document states which applies.
