Are You One of Those Who Still Go for Traditional Instruments like Bank F.D. and PPF?

OR Smart Enough to Take Dual Advantage of Low Valuations and Tax Benefit by Investing in ELSS.

Lets Take a Case Study to help you in Decision making. • Mr. Ram prefers investing Rs.70000 in PPF to earn secured return. He has invested this amount of 31st March of every year since 1996. • Mr. Shyam has invested Rs.70000 every year on 31st March in ELSS scheme (Birla Sunlife Tax Relief 96) since 1996. • Both have invested Rs.9.1 lacs till 31st March 2008.

Who has taken Wise Decision? • Stock markets are down by 60% in 2008 from 21000 to 9000. • Mr. Ram feels proud on his decision of not investing in ELSS and choosing PPF. So you will also agree with Mr. Ram as PPF has given Him fixed return of 8% over the years. But Is It Really a Smart Decision?
