The above returns are of index and do not indicate returns of any scheme. Past performance may or may not sustain in future. MidCap stocks carry a higher risk of market fluctuations and are also prone to higher liquidity risks than LargeCap stocks. Investments in mutual funds should not be construed as a guarantee of any minimum returns & there is no capital protection guarantee.

Over a 3-year period, volatility smoothens significantly

While the volatility in MidCaps may be higher in a shorter horizon of 1 year, it definitely smoothes out when these same stocks are held for a longer time horizon of 3 years, making them suitable for an ELSS scheme with 3-year lock-in period.

The following are the critical factors that must be considered by investors before they invest in ELSS Tax saver fund:

Investment horizon: The investor must have a three-year investment horizon to contemplate investing in ELSS funds. To limit market volatility, the equity exposure of ELSS funds necessitates a longer investment horizon.
Returns: ELSS funds do not give guaranteed returns as they are wholly dependent on the performance of the underlying securities.

Are ELSS Tax Saver Fund subject to any lock in period?

Yes, ELSS has a lock-in period of three years. This means one cannot withdraw their money before the said tenure ends.

What are the benefits of ELSS Tax Saver Fund?

However, Investor will get a maximum tax deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh per year in ELSS under Section 80C even if they invest more than this amount.
Shortest lock-in: Currently, ELSS has the shortest lock-in period of three years under Section 80C of Income Tax Act 1961.

Is returns from ELSS tax free?

The redemption proceeds of ELSS are not entirely tax-free. The long-term capital gains of up to Rs 1,00,000 a year are tax-free, and any gains above this limit attract a long-term capital gains tax at the rate of 10% plus applicable cess and surcharge.
