·         Others fall in between

3.

How return are taxed

The most crucial part is to look at how the returns are taxed.

·         Only PPF and ELSS offer tax free returns; whereas

·         Interest on NSC, Post Office term deposits and bank FDs is taxable

4 (a)

Tax Treatment on Maturity

·         Usually products offer tax deduction on investment

·         Few offer tax exemption on returns at the time of maturity

·         The taxability on maturity reduces the effective return that an investment offers.

4 (b)

EEE or EET category

·         Exempt-Exempt-Exempt (EEE) tax status - tax benefits at the investment stage, the accrual (accumulation) stage and maturity stage - PPF, ELSS and Life Insurance

·         Exempt-Exempt-Tax (EET) tax status - tax benefits at the investment stage and the accrual (accumulation) stage and are taxed at the maturity stage - Bank FDs.

·         In the new Direct Tax Code, lot of investment products will shift from EEE to EET wherein these products will be taxed at the maturity stage

5.

Maximum Investment Limit

·         If a product has maximum investment limit in a year, a tax payer will not be able to claim entire tax benefits for any amount invested above the maximum limit;

·         PPF has maximum investment in a year of Rs. 70,000

·         In case of ELSS and ULIPs there is no maximum investment limit.

6.

Liquidity

·         Most tax saving investment products come with a lock-in period;

·         PPF allows partial withdrawal during the 15 years tenure of the investment.

·         Tax savings bank FD cannot be broken before maturity and also banks normally don't give loans against these FDs.

·         Traditional Life insurance policies and ULIPs allow partial withdrawals but only after completion of 3 years. Also, as an investor you can take loans against life insurance policies.

·         An investor can also take loan against NSC Certificates.

7.

Inflation protection

·         Returns from financial products should beat inflation;

·         Low fixed returns products are to be avoided by investors during periods of high inflation as they yield negative returns.

·         In the long run equities have consistently given higher inflation adjusted returns than returns given fixed return securities.
