Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) are mutual funds that offer tax deductions under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, allowing investments up to Rs. 1.5 lakhs with a minimum investment of Rs. 1,000 and a lock-in period of three years. ELSS has the potential for higher returns, averaging around 15%-20%, compared to traditional savings schemes like PPF and NSC, which yield around 8.5%. Investors are encouraged to invest through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) for better growth while managing the required lock-in period.

10. SIP in ELSS
 Investors can end up with many schemes as they invest
lump sums every year and pick the best performer.
 Consider investing in ELSS through systematic
investment plans (SIPs).
 Avoid last minute lump sum investing and use the SIP
route instead.
 Keep in mind - there is a lock-in of 3 years, which means
that every SIP installment will get locked for 3 years.
For example, if you choose to do a monthly SIP for a year starting January
2015 and the last instalment will be on December 2015, the first
instalment’s lock-in will be get over in January 2018 and the last
instalment’s in December 2018.
