MATCHING SAVINGS WITH FINANCIAL GOALS
Pallavi works for a Bank and is a single mother. She wants to plan ahead and start building a corpus over a period of time for her 6-year old son. Her dream is to be able to send her son abroad for higher studies.
This also happens to be the time she does her tax planning. She wonders what product she should choose, such that both her objectives are met.
TRADITIONAL TAX SAVING PRODUCTS
Pallavi realizes that traditional tax saving products are fixed
income products. They offer regular income and typically have
a large lock in period.
She needs her capital to grow
over a period of time. Can she
do better?
BEAT INFLATION
Pallavi understands that the value of goals tends to move higher due to inflation. Inflation eats into the return on investments. Pallavi wants her investment to earn a rate of return higher than the inflaton rate.
Equity investments typically have the potential to deliver
better returns adjusted for inflation.
Is there a way in which she marry the two -
Tax Saving and Growth in Investments?
WHY EQUITY FOR LONG TERM GOALS
Yes, she may consider an equity-based alternative. Equity helps
generate growth in the investments. Equity has generated good
returns historically as depicted in the graph below:
Pallavi could invest in equity which has potential to achieve her
long term goals and beat inflation. If she had made staggered
investments of 1.5 lakh from Dec 2000 till 2020, an investment of
30 Lakhs would have
grown to 1.4 Crore as on 31st Dec 2020
Past performance may or may not be sustained in future. Investors are requested to consult their financial advisor before making any investment decisions
EQUITY LINKED SAVINGS SCHEME (ELSS)
Pallavi may consider ELSS!
It is a tax saving mutual fund scheme that predominantly invests
in equity, hence, providing scope for capital appreciation.
ELSS provides tax benefits under Section 80C of Income Tax
Act, 1961 for investments upto Rs. 1.5 lakh in each financial
year. Individuals/HUF are entitled to an aggregate deduction
of Rs. 1.5 lakh from the gross
total income for investments in
an ELSS scheme during the relevant financial year.
AIM FOR WEALTH CREATION THROUGH ELSS
3 YEAR LOCK-IN PERIOD
Investment in ELSS schemes has the lowest lock-in period
of 3 years amongst the complete list of tax-saving options
available to Pallavi.
Moreover, a three year lock-in works to her advantage as it makes
the fund less likely to face extreme events during the period.
TAX SAVING AND MUCH MORE…
Investment in an ELSS offers dual advantage of potential capital appreciation and tax rebate. Pallavi can achieve her goal by creating an ELSS portfolio for her son and availing tax rebates each year for fresh investments. Investment in an ELSS can be made as a lump sum or by SIP installments as low as Rs. 500. Investment can be made online through net banking channels too.
