Till now you must know that what i want to to say? Yes Tax saving mutual fund (ELSS) is the best among the options we have. ELSS funds have given the best returns out of all the tax saving instruments under 80 C like PF, FDs, ULIPs, Post office deposits, KVP etc. This fund has a lock-in for 3 years which is the least in the list.

Don't wait for year end to to start investment for 80C. Start as early as possible. we lost 1/4th of current financial year. Start monthly investment.
