Top 5 ELSS SIP Mutual Funds: When we invest for the short term to fulfil our short-term goal, our aim is to get high returns from the invested money. When we invest for the long term we look for investments that can also provide us with tax benefits on deposits. Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) is one such category of equity mutual funds, where you get returns on your investments and tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

ELSS is different from many other mutual funds as there is a lock-in period of three years.

The category has given a 39.62 per cent return in the one year, 19.11 per cent return in the three years, and 18.92 per cent return in the three-year period (As per Value Research data).
