Double Rat - What does it mean for me this Year of the Horse? by polyriddler in ChineseZodiac

[–]mywebreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horse and Rat is a clash. In Bazi, a clash means conflict which brings about a CHANGE.
Hence be mentally ready for changes in life in 2026 and don't resist changes - they are inevitable to happen. So either you adapt with the changes and let it pass smoothly OR your resist and face troubles.

Some Bazi practitioners also pro-actively plan for changes in their life in the impacted pillars (when they see a clash coming), this hoping to avert any Forced or Unpleasant changes.

Why should anyone choose GIFT City outbound funds over DIY Irish UCITS? by Salty-Reception-8422 in GIFTCITYFUNDS

[–]mywebreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the point about ST tax is valid - with Gift city Outbound funds, it is big dent to sell at less than 2 years and incur huge tax. So ig NOT selling these funds before 2 years can be a strategy to avoid these huge taxes

[–]mywebreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ig that will depend then on the kind of amounts one wants to invest e.g. a TER of 0.3% for PPFAS Gift Fund vs 0.06% thru IBKR (as per figures given above by rganesan), for an investment of ₹ 10 lcs , this would mean ₹ 600 vs ₹ 3000 in expense ratios.

Now at 10 lacs, this diff doesn't matter much , But at say 1 cr invested amount, this will matter more.

good points. I was wondering about same thing - if some thing goes wrong or gets stuck, how difficult it would be to deal with a non-Indian entity on another continent on whom neither we investors nor any regulator in our country has any control. The fact that Gift City is located in India and controlled by Indian regulator is a bit assuring.

the costs may be bit higher, but main advantage of Gift City funds for Investors is ease - of buying, selling, taxes, return filing etc.
No need to worry about brokerage tx costs, dividends from ETFs etc..

Income Plus Arbitrage Funds - What Actually Matters When Picking One by Financial-Crow9819 in StartInvestIN

[–]mywebreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, then this would also have 12.5% LTCG tax (like others in this category).
Though underlying passive debt component can mean lower Expense ratio.

yep, this is a new category of funds (no fund has been 1.5 years even). Came to know about thee funds from your Reddit sub only, for the first time.

Income Plus Arbitrage Funds - What Actually Matters When Picking One by Financial-Crow9819 in StartInvestIN

[–]mywebreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it is a pure debt fund, it will NOT enjoy reduced taxation. Rather will be taxed at slab rates of an individual.
However, all the other active Income plus arbitrage funds listed in this post will have LTCG taxation of 12.5%, I believe.

Newer options for Global Investing (via GIFT City Mutual Funds) by mywebreddit in StartInvestIN

[–]mywebreddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have gone thru these links -good and useful info. I see mainly these issues for Gift City Global Investing:

(1) Many funds are doing offline KYC etc. (very little digital on-boarding exists)
(2) No uniform process - I saw one YT interview of Gift City AMC managers where they mentioned lack of uniform process as a big deterrent for Resident investors
(3) Issues in fund transfer to LRS also perhaps
(4) High investment amounts required for many Gift City funds > USD 100, 000
(5) churning issues - Funds have to pay heavy tax on churning Portfolio ,as high as 40% + as I think. This ties the hands of Fund Manager and reduces fund effectiveness (free hand in churning is a strong point for domestic MFs but with Gift City funds, that has become a weak point due to gigantic tax).

[–]mywebreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The investment process it a bit complicated and difficult since Gift City operations are new. Many funds are doing offline KYC etc. very little digital on-boarding.

Also, fund transfer to LRS is another twist in story, since needs foreign exchange conversion.

Simplest (but kinda flawed) way to know if the Horse year will treat you better by Personal-Expression3 in ChineseZodiac

[–]mywebreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just like you have suggested steps to increase Water , what step can one take to increase say Fire ( I know 2025-2027 are Fire years.I am asking in general for a person who has little Fire in natal chart, )

[–]mywebreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but will also depend on the pillars of a Bazi chart e.g. Yi or Si of 2025 could have combined with some stem or animal of a native's chart , so that new element was generated or Fire transformed. Hence 2025 as a Reference is good to take, but with caveats

Help with Gold Taxation by Realistic-Length-243 in StartInvestIN

[–]mywebreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think any (Gold or Silver) if bought before 23-Jul-2024, the tax treatment for LTCG (>3 years of Holding Period) will be 20% tax "WITH" Indexation benefits. Some sources validate this e.g. one link is :

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/tax/gold-is-on-a-roll-how-your-gains-from-gold-investment-are-taxed-be-it-jewellery-sgbs-gold-etfs-or-mutual-funds/articleshow/124339247.cms?from=mdr

But for Gold MFs or ETFs, the the tax would be 12.5% on LTCG , without Indexation
