Growth vs Dividend reinvestment

[asp_trader]

Hi,

I have been reading about the difference b/w growth and dividend reinvestment plans on internet and have some doubts. Please go through the following two scenarios and tell if my understanding is correct.

I'm in 20% tax bracket and invest Rs.100 each in two liquid fund schemes- growth as well dividend reinvestment and withdraw both within an year.

a) Growth scheme:
At the time of investing NAV was 100rs and while withdrawing 110rs. So the tax I will have to pay is 20% of 10 rs = 2rs. Actual profit = 8rs.

b) Dividend reinvestment:
Till the time of withdrawing the AMC received cumulative 10 rs profit. They will apply 28% DDT on each of these and will give me 7.2rs as dividend. So the tax I will have to pay is 20% of 7.2 rs = 1.44rs. Actual profit = 7.2- 1.44 = 5.76rs. Correct?

In short, according to current tax rules and my tax bracket, growth option is always better than dividend reinvestment, right?

Thanks in advance.

Got some clarification:

Dividend plans from mutual funds are totally exempted from tax in the hands of investor.
Liquid funds charge ~27% as DDT before distributing dividends and the investor need not pay any tax on it.
Debt funds (like ultra short term debt funds) charge ~14% as DDT before distributing dividends and as before, the investor need not pay any tax on it. So for a person in 20% tax bracket, dividend reinvestment option is better in the case of ultra short term funds and growth option is better in the case of liquid funds.

Am I correct? Someone please reply.
