Look carefully at the portfolio of an ELSS

Invest ELSS Funds Online

There is more to a tax-saving fund than just its performance. It must fit into your portfolio.

Though all equity diversified funds that offer a tax break are classified as equity linked savings schemes, or ELSS, all funds are not the same.

For one, you need to check the market cap of the fund. For instance, Mirae Asset Tax Saver has around 72% of its portfolio in large caps, HSBC Tax Saver has around 34% in mid and small caps, and Edelweiss ELSS has 44% of its portfolio in mid and small caps. Depending on what market cap you are comfortable with and which fits in with your portfolio, search for a fund accordingly. For instance, if your portfolio is packed with large-cap funds, you can opt for an ELSS which tilts towards smaller fare.

On similar lines, check whether the fund manager takes big bets or prefers going with a diversified portfolio, and see where your comfort level lies.

For example, the top 10 stocks in JM Tax Gain corner over 51% of the portfolio. The portfolio is completely invested in around 30 stocks. Edelweiss ELSS has just around 32% of its portfolio in the top 10 stocks and sports a portfolio of around 64 stocks.

So check how concentrated the top holdings are and how tight the portfolio is.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds `HOW green was my valley'. This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining. I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

BANK FDs for Tax Saving

This is probably the easiest way to save tax if you have a Netbanking account . After the demonetisation and the digital push, almost everyone has one. A few clicks of the mouse and your tax planning is done. However, as mentioned earlier, this convenience comes at a very high cost. Interest rates have come down significantly and are close to 7-7.5% right now. The bigger problem is that the interest is fully taxable. It is added to the income of the investor and taxed at the marginal rate applicable to him. In the highest 30% tax bracket , the post-tax yield is close to 5%. Even so, tax-saving fixed deposits are suitable for risk averse investors, especially senior citizens who might already have hit the ` 15 lakh ceiling in the Senior Citizens' Saving Scheme and don't want to lock in money for the long term in a PPF account . Though NSCs offer higher rates than most banks, many senior citizens prefer to invest in deposits of their own banks, because they get better service ...
