What is an ELSS Fund
Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) are tax saving mutual funds. ELSS funds provide dual benefits for its investors of capital appreciation and tax saving. ELSS mutual funds come with a lock in period of three years. Investors are allowed to claim tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 up to Rs. 1.5 lakh in a financial year.
Advantages of Investing in ELSS Funds

Shortest lock-in:
ELSS has the shortest lock-in period of three years. Tax-saving fixed deposits have a five-year lock-in, while PPF has a 15-year maturity. All in all, ELSS offers more liquidity in the medium term. -
Potentially higher returns:
Unlike ELSS where return is market linked, other 80C investments like PPF or FDs are fixed income products. ELSS has the potential to generate significantly higher wealth in a medium to long-term investment horizon. -
Better post-tax returns:
Long Term Capital Gains from ELSS are tax free up to limit of Rs.1.25 lac. Gains over 1.25 lac attracts a tax rate of just 12.5% (refer tax rules for applicability). Lower tax rates, coupled with higher returns ensure the best post tax returns. -
