Benefits of investing in ELSS

There are many benefits of investing in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS). One, the lock-in period here is only 3 years. That is, whatever money is invested on the date it can be withdrawn after three years. Apart from this, the lock-in period of 3 years is the shortest. While this period is 15 years in PPF, it is 5 years in tax saving FD. Investment in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) can be done in one go or every month. Under Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), this investment is allowed to be made every month. It should also be kept in mind here that when the investment in these schemes would have been made, then at that time income tax exemption would have been given separately. Apart from this, this return has got more in the year.
