Unravel the mystery of smart tax saving! Can salaried professionals really hit a ₹10 Lakh return in 5 years with ELSS? Let's cut through the noise and find out!
ELSS (Equity-Linked Savings Scheme) funds offer Section 80C tax benefits (up to ₹1.5L). They invest in equities, aiming for significantly higher returns than traditional tax-saving options like PPF or FDs.
ELSS boasts a mere 3-year lock-in, the shortest among all 80C instruments. But here’s the kicker: don’t stop there! Staying invested longer truly unleashes the power of compounding.
Invest ₹12,500/month via SIP for 5 years (₹7.5L total). At a conservative 12% CAGR, your investment could grow to ~₹10.33 Lakh! Consistency and market performance are key.
Prioritize consistent SIPs over timing the market for rupee cost averaging. Choose funds with a consistent 5-7 year track record. Don't stop at the 3-year lock-in; let it grow!
Avoid the 'March Madness' rush; invest via SIP throughout the year. Don't automatically redeem after 3 years. Don't chase the 'best' fund; look for consistent performance and align with your risk.
