What would be the taxation on INDIAREIT Fund

I have just received my first return on an investment that I done in a real estate investment fund (erstwhile INDIAREIT fund). This payment by the fund was a return of my capital plus LTCG. I am trying to determine my income tax impact for the LTCG. Please advise if it would taxable at 20% or if it can be treated like a Debt Mutual fund and be taxed at 20% with indexation?

We find that INDIAREIT Fund has few series of schemes launched over a period of time.

We do not know which one you have invested in? In the Budget 2014, the Finance Minister proposed to kick start the launch of REIT (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and thereafter many a changes took place in REITs.
