Positive towards ELSS part of asset allocation

by Shabbir Bhimani on February 28, 2009

I am making this statement because ELSS comes with a mandatory lock-in period of three years. This happens to be the smallest lock-in period that is available in the 80C basket. You can compare this with PPF, which matures in 15 years, NSC in 6 years and FD requires five years to get the tax break.
