by Vpalkar CA V Paalkar & Co.An Equity linked saving scheme (ELSS) is similar to tax-saving instruments like National Savings Certificate and Public Provident Fund. However, the returns are directly linked to equity. An ELSS has a lock-in period of 3 years.
It is covered under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act and allows investment of up to Rs. 1 lakh in the current financial year. The amount invested can be deducted from total income, reducing total taxable income.
ELSS offers benefits byways of the shorter lock-in period (3 yrs) than NSC & PPF. ELSS has the potential of earning higher returns and Dividend payout available during the lock-in period
Moreover, Investing through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) averages out your investments over a period of time.
