Rs 25,000 monthly SIP in these ELSS mutual funds has grown up to Rs 40 lakh in 5 years

Top 5 ELSS Mutual Funds: For those who are in the old tax regime, a relaxation of Rs 1.50 lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, is an important factor as it may help them save substantial tax every financial year. In these tax saving options, you invest for a long duration such as five years or more. But equity mutual funds have a category that provides tax benefits only with a three-year lock-in period. The category is Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS).

With a three-year lock-in period, ELSS mutual funds provide tax benefits of up to Rs 1.50 lakh in a financial year on deposits in a financial year.

Most of the top ELSS funds are large-cap heavy, so they can provide stability.
