Tax sops, restoring indexation among Amfi Budget wish list
Financial Express Chandigarh
|January 21, 2026
THE ASSOCIATION OF Mutual Funds in India (Amfi) has sought restoration of indexation for debt funds and granting capital gains tax exemptions for holding equity-oriented schemes for long-term in the Budget.
It has submitted a total of 27 recommendations to the government.
For debt mutual funds held for more than 36 months, Amfi has asked to restore long-term capital gains with indexation, as it incentivises long-horizon, fixed-income saving; restores parity with other long-term assets and channels household savings to the corporate bond market. It has requested to introduce debt-linked savings scheme (DLSS) to help expand the bond market as the retail penetration in corporate bonds is low.
