Tax-Saving Investments (ELSS)

Invest in Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) to claim deductions under Section 80C (old tax regime) while working towards long-term wealth creation.

Overview

Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) are equity mutual funds that qualify for a deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act if you file under the old tax regime. They have a three-year lock-in, the shortest among common Section 80C options.

We help you understand whether ELSS suits your tax situation, compare schemes and invest early in the financial year, through a SIP or a lumpsum, instead of rushing in March. Please consult your tax professional for advice on your own tax position.

What you get

  • Deduction under Section 80C (old tax regime), within the applicable limit
  • Three-year lock-in per investment instalment
  • Equity exposure for long-term wealth creation
  • Invest by SIP to spread purchases across the year
  • Help comparing ELSS schemes and keeping records for tax filing

Tax-Saving Investments (ELSS): frequently asked questions

Can I claim ELSS under the new tax regime?

No. The Section 80C deduction is available only under the old tax regime. Your ELSS investment still works as an equity mutual fund, but without the deduction. Please confirm your situation with your tax professional.

How does the lock-in work for an ELSS SIP?

Each SIP instalment has its own three-year lock-in from the date it was invested.

Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. Past performance is not indicative of future returns.
