You can start ELSS SIP with as little as ₹500/month. For lump sum, the minimum is typically ₹500. To maximise 80C benefit, invest ₹12,500/month (₹1.5 lakh/year).
Is ELSS better than PPF for tax saving?
ELSS has a shorter lock-in (3 years vs PPF's 15 years) and higher potential returns (12–15% vs PPF's 7.1%). However, PPF returns are fully tax-free while ELSS gains above ₹1 lakh/year are taxed at 10% LTCG. PRinvins recommends combining both for optimal 80C planning.
Can I invest in ELSS via SIP?
Yes — SIP in ELSS is the recommended approach. Each monthly instalment has its own 3-year lock-in. SIP gives you rupee cost averaging and spreads your tax-saving investment over 12 months instead of a lump sum in March.
