Equity-Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS) for Tax Savvy Investors

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

ELSS funds invest primarily in equities, offering tax deductions up to INR 1.5 lakh under Section 80C. They carry a mandatory 3-year lock-in, typically shorter than other tax-saving instruments like PPF. While returns can outpace inflation, market volatility exists. Students or fresh earners looking to reduce taxable income while seeking higher potential growth often choose ELSS as a stepping stone, honing investment discipline and reaping dual benefits of tax savings and market-linked returns.
