Tax Savings in Equity Linked Saving Scheme
Let's check the tax benefits by comparing tax savings with and without ELSS:
| Particulars | Tax Planning (ELSS) | No Tax Planning |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Total Income | 8,00,000 | 8,00,000 |
| Exemption from Taxation | 1,50,000 | Nil |
| Total Taxable Income | 6,50,000 | 8,00,000 |
| Tax to be Paid | 32,500 | 62,500 |
| Saved Amount | 30,000 | Nil |
Hence, total amount saved by investing in ELSS is INR 30,000.
Benefits of Investing in Tax Saving Mutual Funds
Along with tax benefits, ELSS also offers you the following advantages:
Equity Returns
As ELSS is a combination of equity and tax saving, the money you invest grows as the stock market grows. So, investors can also earn returns from the equity market. Hence, ELSS is also an avenue for a long-term wealth creation.
SIP Benefits
Instead of investing a lump sum amount, investors can choose an easy path by investing monthly via a SIP. With a SIP, one can invest as low as INR 500, making it the most affordable tax-planning and investment avenue for the investors.
Shortest Lock-in Period
ELSS has lock-in period of 3 years, which is the shortest lock-in period among all other tax-saving instruments.
