Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) is a mutual fund investment that reduces your taxable income by ₹1,50,000. With a minimum lock-in period of just 3 years, ELSS has the potential to earn higher returns than most other tax-saving options as most of the portfolio is invested in the stock market. Returns on ELSS are linked to the stock market and are tax-free.
