After all, why this is the best way to save income tax
Generally, people pay attention to schemes with fixed returns to save income tax. In this, SSC, PPF and other such options come. But Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) of mutual funds is a special category, where investment can be claimed exemption under 80C of Income Tax. This exemption is the same as that available on investment in PPF or insurance etc.
Benefits of investing in ELSS
There are many benefits of investing in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS). One, the lock-in period here is only 3 years. That is, whatever money is invested on the date it can be withdrawn after three years. Apart from this, the lock-in period of 3 years is the shortest. While this period is 15 years in PPF, it is 5 years in tax saving FD. Investment in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) can be done in one go or every month. Under Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), this investment is allowed to be made every month. It should also be kept in mind here that when the investment in these schemes would have been made, then at that time income tax exemption would have been given separately. Apart from this, this return has got more in the year.
Here is the opinion of the expert
According to income tax lawyer Rajiv Tiwari, by investing in ELSS mutual funds, income tax can be saved in the same way as other investments under 80C can be saved. At the same time, after 3 years, you can also get a rebate of Rs 1 lakh on the benefit under Long Term Capital Gain.
