ELSS or Equity Linked Saving Scheme is a category of mutual fund which offers a convenient way to get tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act 1961, while aiming to provide the potential returns of equity markets. Therefore, if you are looking to save taxes then investing in ELSS mutual fund makes sense!

Also known as tax saver fund, it is considered as best option for generating capital appreciation over a long investment period.
