Invest Smart, Start Early, Save Tax and Create Wealth!!!
Equity Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS) VS Public Provident Funds (PPFs)
ELSS : - The equity-linked saving scheme (ELSS) is a category of diversified mutual funds that the government created to encourage long-term equity investments in equity and equity oriented instruments. The broad aim of ELSS funds is to focus on generating investor wealth over the long term. ELSS qualifies for tax exemption under section 80C of income tax act and comes under EEE tax status. It has a low lock in period of 3 years and high growth potential as an equity based instrument.
PPF : – PPF is the tax saving instrument for the risk averse investor whose purpose is to mobilize small saving of individual by offering investments that carry reasonable return along with income tax benefits. PPF fully guaranteed by the government of India. It comes under EEE tax regime, i.e. contribution, interest and maturity amount all are tax free.
Which one to choose?
The answer is ELSS.
It is always important for investors to choose investments options based on your goal and investment horizon. Do not base them on the basis of market conditions.
Over a long time frame, wealth creation potential is much higher with ELSS. Young investors should opt for ELSS, since they usually have high risk tolerance and a sufficiently long time horizon to ride out the volatilities associated with equity investments.
Returns – ELSS is expected to offer better returns than PPF in long term. Currently, average 5 year compounded return for ELSS schemes is 20% pa and average 10 year compounded return for ELSS schemes is 14% pa. This is far better than PPF rate of return of more than 8%.
As we can see the below chart, the last 5 years CAGR return in ELSS Scheme is 20%. If someone has put Rs 1,00,000 in ELSS five years ago, his/her investment increase by Rs 1,48,832. On the other hand, if one go through PPF, his/her investment grew by only Rs 46,993.
Also, the return in PPF has declined over the years. From 9.5% at the start of 2013, it dropped down to 9.2%, then 9%, 8.7.1% and finally 8.10%. Between FY14 and FY17 the rate hovered between 8.1% and 8.7%. If you take the average inflation by year, the CPI from 2013 to 2017 has fluctuated between 7% and 9%. All in all, the PPF has not done an excellent job in consistently beating inflation over the last few years. You need some equity to create wealth.

Also, the return in PPF has declined over the years. From 9.5% at the start of 2013, it dropped down to 9.2%, then 9%, 8.7.1% and finally 8.10%.

All in all, the PPF has not done an excellent job in consistently beating inflation over the last few years. You need some equity to create wealth.
Risks – Over longer term, volatility (price risk) reduces significantly, in equity instruments. There is little risk of capital in PPF, as it is backed by Central Government of India.

Debt funds are the mutual funds which invest in different types of fixed income instruments such as Government Bonds, Corporate Bonds, Money Market instruments, Treasury bills etc. They are recommended for short- to medium-term allocation, often as a substitute to bank fixed deposits. For such investments, safety of capital and regular income are an important objective.
Invest in debt mutual funds over traditional investments in Banks and FDs.
Make Debt Fund work for you
Systematic investment in debt mutual fund to achieve financial goals plays a major role at a time when fixed deposit rates are falling, Debt funds offered by mutual funds could be the best bet for the risk-averse investors to consider for fairly decent returns.
Interest income is combined with your income and taxed as per your slab. However, mutual fund investments are taxed only when you redeem them. There is no TDS. When you actually redeem your liquid fund units, you will be taxed for capital gains. Units held for under three years are liable for short-term capital gains tax as per your slab. Units held longer than three years are liable for Long Term Capital Gains tax at 20.6 per cent with indexation benefit. This makes liquid mutual fund investing more tax-efficient than FDs.
Inflation is a silent killer lurks in the midst of all our investments. When we invest our money in any instrument then we must keep in mind the safety, return, liquidity and most important is the inflation rate.

In order to determine the gains from the sale of debt mutual fund units are classified as capital gains, which allows the investor to use indexation while computing tax on them. This is applicable on long-term capital gains on investments that have been held for 3 years and more.
Many investors are seriously considering parking money in debt mutual funds as banks have started cutting rates on deposits. Hopes of a policy rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India are also contributing to the decision. However, most investors forget to include the most important factor in their calculations: indexation benefit. Indexation helps investors in long-term debt funds to save taxes.
Indexation Benefit in Mutual Fund
For example if someone has invested a lumpsum amount of Rs 100000 in a debt mutual fund in the year 2013 and sold it for Rs 123373 since the investment was held for more than three years, it qualifies for long term capital gains taxes with indexation benefit and will get far more return as compare to traditional investment.

What is SIP & what is role of SIP in mutual fund ?
SIP is a method of investing a fixed sum, regularly, in a mutual fund scheme. SIP allows one to buy units on a given date each month, so that one can implement a saving plan for themselves. The biggest advantage of SIP is that one need not time the market. In timing the market, one can miss the larger rally and may stay out while markets were doing well or may enter at a wrong time when either valuation have peaked or markets are on the verge of declining. Rather than timing the market, investing every month will ensure that one is invested at the high and the low, and make the best out of an opportunity that could be tough to predict in advance
an investor can invest a pre-determined fixed amount in a scheme every month or quarterly, depending on his convenience through post-dated cheques or through ECS (auto-debit) facility. Investors need to fill up an Application form and SIP mandate form on which they need to indicate their choice for the SIP date (on which the amount will be invested). Subsequent SIPs will be auto-debited through a standing instruction given or post-dated cheques. The forms and cheques can be submitted to the office of the Mutual Fund / Investor ServiceCentre or nearest service centre of the Registrar &Transfer Agent. The amount is invested at the closing Net Asset Value (NAV) of the date of realisation of the cheque.
Investors who wish to invest in mutual funds have to contact Abhipra Capital Ltd.
The normal procedure is to fill-up the BSE MFSTAR application form with C-KYC submit it along with a cheque for the amount of investment. Cheques , NEFT & RTGS Payment are allowed .The client would submit the application form with the cheque in the favour of “INDIAN CLEARING CORPORATION LIMITED . The mutual fund company would issue a Account Statement with 4 working days from the date of investment to the client.
Thanks to modern computers and the Internet, investing in mutual funds has never been easier, though there are many important considerations an investor should take into account before adding shares of a mutual fund to their portfolio. Mutual funds come in a multitude of varieties including those that focus on different asset classes, those that seek to mimic an index (also known as index funds), those that focus on dividend stocks; the list goes on and on covering everything from geographic mandates to those that specialize in investing in securities that fall within a certain market capitalization.
By answering the following three questions, it is my hope you'll gain a better understanding of what mutual funds are, how they work, and how they can be added to your investment portfolio
