If you lend mony from from soem where you have to pay maximum 15% interest whereas you can gain minimum 20% from Mf annually

You may be NRI or Resident Indian, It is taxable. This income falls under Short Term Capital Gains. If your status is NRI then there is a fixed rate of TDS on it. Otherwise no tax will be deducted by the Mutual fund, but you have to show it in your tax returns.

In case of NRI read the web link.

Dear Ramesh

In this case , fist of all you have to pay the exit load to the Mutual Fund company. Exit load charged on your current account value. ( Original Investment + Profit = A/c value ). Most of the MF companies charging 0.50% as an exit load after 6 months. And if you exit after 12 months there is no exit load on open ended plans.

However the biggest tax advantage of investments in Mutual Funds arises from the provisions contained in Section 10 (35) of the Income Tax act 1961, under which the enitre income received by the invstor from Mutual Funs is fully exempt from income tax.

But if you exit before one year than you are liable to pay 10% capital gain tax on your profits.

Hope this will help you.
