With a slew of measures for mutual fund investors, Sebi has regulated that Selling of bonus units in mutual funds before nine months can lead to more tax liability, but it does not apply to stocks. This is because an amendment was made in the Income Tax Act, which prevents tax payers from 'bonus stripping'. This provision mentions that if there is any loss when the investor redeems bonus units in the first nine months the loss will not be considered as part of taxable income.
