Deciding on an Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) can be a critical choice for investors aiming to maximize their returns while saving on taxes. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision when selecting an ELSS:
ELSS is a type of mutual fund that invests primarily in equity or equity-related instruments.
