As returns are market linked, ELSS has potential to deliver higher tax adjusted returns than traditional tax saving options
Since there is a lock in period of 3 years, the fund manager has the opportunity to invest the funds for long term as he does not have to worry about sudden redemption pressure.
In comparison to the various other investment avenues under section 80C of the Income tax act, ELSS has the shortest lock in period of 3 years.
Investment in ELSS through
SIP route helps in
averaging out
the cost of purchase.
