An ELSS scheme is like any other diversified equity fund with an exception
of tax-benefit under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The funds
invested have a lock in period of three years. Investments into the equitylinked savings schemes offer dual benefit to an investor.
First, the investments are made for a longer period; therefore, the Fund
Manager has an opportunity of taking a long term view on the
investments. There is stability in terms of entry and exit of funds, owing
to its tax saving feature. Therefore, these schemes help in the growth of
investor’s wealth over the years. The Fund Manager while managing an
ELSS portfolio faces lesser risk of reducing corpus due to uneventful
redemptions which gives him opportunity to invest into companies where
he believes there is potential for value to be unlocked in the medium to
longer term. The Inventors may wish to invest more than the tax saving
limit of Rs 1 lakh under section 80C anticipating better returns compared
to other schemes of similar asset allocation.
Second, the investor gets the benefit of tax exemption for the amount
invested into the ELSS schemes since investments up to Rs 1, 00,000 are
eligible for deduction from the gross total income under the Income tax
Act, Section 80 C.
For example, an individual who has earned an income of Rs 5 Lakhs
invests Rs 1 Lakh in an ELSS fund, such as Birla Sun life Tax Relief 96. The
taxable income in this case would come down by Rs 1 Lakh (5-1) which
means that for a taxable income of Rs 1 Lakh, there is zero tax. If the
individual does not invest in to the ELSS Fund, his taxable income in this
case would be Rs 5 Lakhs and as per the tax slab for men as an instance
would be Rs 3,40000 ie., Rs (5 Lakhs – 1,60000). Therefore tax payable
would be upto (Rs 3, 00000@10%) + (Rs 40000@20%) which would
amount to Rs 38000. For a taxable income of Rs 4 lakhs, there is a tax of
Rs 24,000/-.Therefore, in this scenario, you save Rs 14,000/- in taxes by
investing in an ELSS scheme.
