Tax Saving Mutual Funds are a hot favourite among investors across ages when it’s time to filing taxes. Sadly, working professionals often leave taxes to the last minute. This can be a costly mistake because it leads to poor investing decisions.
For example, it is a common tax-saving mistake to invest in a health or life insurance plan to save tax instead of choosing one based on personal needs. Planning your tax-saving investments with the help of a professional wealth coach can be extremely useful.
In fact, tax-saving mutual funds can also create wealth over the long term. This is where Equity Linked Savings Schemes or ELSS funds come into the picture.
Equity Linked Savings Scheme or ELSS funds are tax saving mutual funds which offer a tax exemption of up to ₹1.5 lakhs under section 80C. ELSS funds are one of the best tax saving schemes because of their low lock-in period of 3 years.
This is lower than the lock-in period of other tax saving options like PPF or Tax saving FDs. But ELSS funds go beyond saving tax. They are potentially one of the best options to create wealth over the long term.
ELSS funds invest in equity or stocks from across industries, sectors, and market caps. This allows for diversification, potentially high returns and reduced risk over the long term.
The mandatory lock-in period of 3 years can help the investment grow and generate returns across different market phases. At the same time, there are tax benefits as well.
But it is important to invest ELSS funds based on your investment goals and risk appetite.
