MFs — Is
tax saving your investment objective?
3 — Start investing in ELSS
tax saving fund.
For 10 year horizon with
tax saving option, you can consider investing in an ELSS fund.
If your investment objective is to accumulate wealth +

Dear KUMAR, Kindly Read: Best ELSS
Tax saving mutual funds.
We will also discuss some other
tax saving strategies.
I read and got the restrictions and tax but the discipline and extra
tax saving amount.
Examples are: Large cap, ELSS
tax saving funds, Mid-cap, Balanced funds (equity oriented), Sector funds etc.,
DSP BlackRock Tax Saver Fund — Regular Plan — Growth --(
Tax saving fund) 2.)
Also for
tax saving, I show 1 Lakh rent / year, I invest approx 30k in LIC, 30k HDFC ULIP Plan and PPF account per year.
Plans like ELSS
Tax saving funds (3 year lock - in), Fixed maturity plans (FMPs), close - ended schemes etc do not allow any - time withdrawal.
You may pick an ELSS fund if
tax saving is one of your investment objectives..
Is my current portfolio allocation ok (as my goal for such is to invest for long time (3 - 5 years) & also
tax saving)?
Please make corrections in my table,
Tax saving scheme, advisable duration, investment frequency (Lumpsum / SIP quaterly).
Kindly note that units allotted under each SIP of ELSS
tax saving fund (s) are locked for 3 years and advisable to remain invested in equity funds for little longer period (especially investments in Mid cap fund).
Take stock of your investments, specially
the tax saving ones.
Assuming that during your working years, you are in a higher tax bracket than you will be in upon retirement, this will give you an overall
tax saving.
My goal is
tax saving + wealth accumulation only.
3 years lockin period is a mandatory one for ELSS
tax saving funds like Axis LTE.
You may consider one / two ELSS fund for
tax saving besides other equity funds.
Kindly note that Axis LTE fund is
a tax saving ELSS fund, the units allotted under each SIP are locked are for 3 years.
so if I add again these two funds for
tax saving then mine would be large cap - 1, Multicap - 3 and midcap - 1, mall cap - 1.
HDFC Top 200 Fund - Growth — 1000 HDFC Mid Cap Opportunities Fund - Growth - > 2000 ICICI Balanced fund - DP - Growth - > 2000 ICICI LTEF (
Tax Saving)- DP - Growth - > 2000 BSL Frontline Equity Fund - Growth - > 1500 SBI Blue Chip Fund Plan - Growth - > 2000 Franklin India Prima Fund - > 1500
But if you have made investments (
tax saving) and not claimed during the FY (with your employer), you can claim them when you file income tax return.
Please suggest a fund scheme / Policy that can yield good returns to reach the goal and
tax saving.
Dear Vishwanath, Kindly note that Axis LTE & Motilal LTE funds are also
tax saving MF schemes.
In case, planning to invest (afresh) or through SIPs, you may add on balanced fund, and continue with Franklin Tax shiled (for
tax saving), and can add one mid-cap fund.
I am a regular visitor of our site and been investing since aug - 2015 and by your suggestions my investment are as below 1) axis long term equity fund — 4000 monthly (for
tax saving) 2) franklin tax shield — 3000 monthly (for
tax saving) 4) hdfc balanced fund — 1000 monthly 5) hdfc midcap oppor.fund — 1000 monthly 6) uti equity fund — 1000 monthly time horizon - 10 years.
I want to invest further rs. 2000 / - p.m. via SIP for short period high return (Not for
tax saving).
Unlike PPF they don't have a lock - in period of 15 years (except
tax saving FDs with 5 - year lock - in period).
Also, do note that the units allotted under each SIP of ELSS (
Tax saving fund like Axis LTE) are locked for 3 years.
You may invest additional amounts in HDFC mid-cap itself & Franklin Tax shield (for
tax saving purpose also, if required).
Sir, I want to invest in two
tax saving MFs through SIP @ 1000 Rs.
You may consider investing in an ELSS fund (
tax saving + wealth accumulation) or in a balanced fund (wealth accumulation).
Thx Sree Why do nt share sample portfolios with different Investment options (equity, MF, gold, NPS etc with
some tax saving vehicles) with Low or moderate risk to High Returns..
i am not worried about
tax saving fund.
Dear Prabu, You may select one fund from each fund category (except ELSS funds, if
tax saving is not your investment objective).
I would be glad if you suggest some really good funds across all categories (large / mid / small / diversified /
tax saving).
Yes,
tax saving ELSS funds fall under E-E-E category.
If this worth in terms of
tax saving + returns, or is there any better options for returns alone for a 5 year time frame, guess that would be good..
Main Purpose of this investment is for
Tax Saving.
