If Cap.gain tax treatment is as a trader, can I still get tax exemption out my long term mutual funds gain?
For traders I.T. is payable at normal applicable rates and there is no tax exemption from capital gain out of sale of equity shares for long term. But, will the benefit be available for mutual funds units sale held for long term (one year)?

Tax on short term capital gains from the sales of shares where you paid security transaction tax is 10% 10% (for AY 2008-09) and 15% (for AY 2009-10) while there is no tax on long term capital gains. In such cases if you hold shares for more than a year, you have a long term capital gain.
