equity related instruments. These funds offer tax benefit under Section 80C of Income Tax Act 1961. Investments in ELSS can be made using both SIP and lumpsum investment options.

These advantages make ELSS one of the ideal investment option for various long term financial goals like retirement planning, children’s higher education, children’s marriage etc. in addition to tax savings.
