Frequently Asked Questions
How much tax can I save by investing in ELSS funds under Section 80C?
You can claim a tax deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh in a financial year under Section 80C by investing in ELSS funds; however, this benefit is available only under the old tax regime. Your actual tax savings will depend on your total income, tax liability, income tax slab, and other investments.
While ELSS has become popular as a tax-saving investment option, the decision to invest should depend on your financial goals, need for it in your portfolio, tax liability, and other factors.
Note: Filing taxes on your own can be risky and may cost you more than you save. It’s advisable to consult a Qualified Financial Advisor for your tax planning and filing.
Why do ELSS mutual funds have a 3-year lock-in period, and what does it mean for me?
How can I choose the best ELSS fund for my tax planning and long-term goals?
When selecting ELSS funds, focus on long-term performance (5-10 years), expense ratio, and the fund manager’s track record, rather than just recent returns. The “best ELSS fund” depends on your investment profile. Conservative investors may prefer stable, large-cap-heavy ELSS funds, while growth-oriented investors might opt for diversified ELSS portfolios.
If you are unsure of what to choose, a Qualified Financial Advisor can help you select the right investment option. After reviewing your financial personality, overall investment portfolio, goals, and tax liability, the advisor will recommend personalised investment options tailored to you.
Can I exit early or switch between ELSS funds before the lock-in period is over?
Is ELSS better than PPF or NPS for tax saving?
Don’t make investment decisions based solely on returns. Consult a Qualified Financial Advisor to determine which investment option best suits your needs.
How long should I stay invested in ELSS funds to maximise my returns?
Is it a good idea to keep an ELSS fund as my emergency fund?
