No capital gains is payable on redemption of equity mutual fund or balanced fund having predominant equity flavour, if the investment is held for more than one year. Otherwise, short term capital gains tax @15% is payable in respect of gains on only those units held for less than one year.

In respect of debt funds or income funds Long term mutual fund @20% (10% without indexation benefits) payble if units held for more than one year. For investements held for period less than 1 year, short term capital gain shall be added to your income under other heads and taxed at marginal rate on income tax.

All the MFs mentioned by you are equity funds. No tax payable one year has elapsed after the last SIP instalment on date of redemption.
