The AAR ruled that the applicant is not eligible to avail Input Tax Credit (ITC) on tax paid for inputs and input services related to mutual fund subscription and redemption activities. The Authority rejected the applicant's contention that redemption of mutual funds differs from sale of securities, clarifying that redemption constitutes a sale transaction regardless of nomenclature, as it involves cessation of ownership by the unit holder.
