An ELSS scheme is like any other diversified equity fund with an exception of tax-benefit under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The funds invested have a lock in period of three years. Investments into the equity- linked savings schemes offer dual benefit to an investor. First, the investments are made for a longer period; therefore, the Fund Manager has an opportunity of taking a long term view on the investments. There is stability in terms of entry and exit of funds, owing to its tax saving feature. Therefore, these schemes help in the growth of investor’s wealth over the years. The Fund Manager while managing an ELSS portfolio faces lesser risk of reducing corpus due to uneventful redemptions which gives him opportunity to invest into companies where he believes there is potential for value to be unlocked in the medium to longer term. The Inventors may wish to invest more than the tax saving limit of Rs 1 lakh under section 80C anticipating better returns compared to other schemes of similar asset allocation.

Second, the investor gets the benefit of tax exemption for the amount invested into the ELSS schemes since investments up to Rs 1, 00,000 are eligible for deduction from the gross total income under the Income tax Act, Section 80 C. For example, an individual who has earned an income of Rs 5 Lakhs invests Rs 1 Lakh in an ELSS fund, such as Birla Sun life Tax Relief 96. The taxable income in this case would come down by Rs 1 Lakh (5-1) which means that for a taxable income of Rs 1 Lakh, there is zero tax. If the individual does not invest in to the ELSS Fund, his taxable income in this case would be Rs 5 Lakhs and as per the tax slab for men as an instance would be Rs 3,40000 ie., Rs (5 Lakhs – 1,60000). Therefore tax payable would be upto (Rs 3, + (Rs which would amount to Rs For a taxable income of Rs 4 lakhs, there is a tax of Rs 24,000/-.Therefore, in this scenario, you save Rs 14,000/- in taxes by investing in an ELSS scheme.
