1. PPF or ELSS?
2. I'm still not sure about ELSS. What should I do?
Try dipping your toes, invest Rs. 50,000/- this year and gain experience for the next 5 years. There is absolutely no penalty on not investing more next year.
3. I'm a senior citizen. Should I still invest in ELSS with a lock-in period of 3 years?
What is the end-use of the money you're going to invest in ELSS? Do you need it for your living expenses in the next 5 years (the lock-in period for ELSS is 3 years but Ideal Investment Time Horizon to get good returns is 5 years)?
If no, and this amount is basically for wealth creation/ passing on to your next generation, ELSS is the right product for you.
Reason - Even if you're no more tomorrow, the investment can be passed on to your children and they can utilize the money after 5 years (the recommended holding period for ELSS Investment). Do not compromise on investment option as it can ultimately affect the purchasing power of the money you're going to pass as an inheritance.
If yes, you are dependent on this money for your living expenses within 5 years, PPF (with a matured file) is the only right 80C investment Option for you.
4. I'm utilizing the 80C limit as home loan repayment. Any suggestions for me?
