ELSS (Tax Saving) Mutual Funds are ideal for taxpayers seeking to save taxes under Section 80C while aiming for long-term wealth creation through equity investments. These funds offer a tax deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh per financial year and have the shortest lock-in period of 3 years among all Section 80C options.
