Equity-Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS) is a unique investment option that aims for potential wealth creation while also offering tax benefits under the provisions of Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. ELSS primarily invests the major corpus of money (minimum 80% of the portfolio) in equities and equity-related securities.
There is no minimum allocation required in each market capitalization, so the fund manager is free to plan the flexi cap fund investment portfolio as per their growth strategy, market knowledge and insights.
Furthermore, these funds have the shortest lock-in period among all tax-saving investment options. The mandatory lock-in period for ELSS is just three years.
Bajaj Finserv ELSS Tax Saver Fund is a mutual fund that invests in equities with long-term growth potential along with tax benefits under section 80C of the old regime of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
ELSS Funds carry a lock-in period of 3 years during which investors cannot redeem their invested amount
Investors can claim a maximum exemption of Rs. 1,50,000 by investing in ELSS Funds under sec 80C of Income Tax Act, 1961. The exemption is available for investors under the old tax regime. Exemptions are subject to prevailing tax laws.
Bottom-up stock selection: Identifying stocks through fundamental company analysis
Ensure appropriate valuation: Evaluation of fair pricing for long-term investment
Buy and hold growth: Investment in businesses with strong future potential
You can invest in Bajaj Finserv ELSS Tax Saver Fund through both online and offline channels. You can invest independently or with the help of a distributor.
ELSS funds are a type of mutual fund. The suitability of mutual funds, including ELSS funds, depends on your goals, risk appetite and preferences.
No, ELSS funds are not tax-free after the 3-year lock-in period. While investments up to ₹1.5 lakh in a financial year are eligible for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, (old tax regime), gains on redemption are subject to long-term capital gains tax. Capital gains exceeding ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year are taxed at 12.5%, plus applicable surcharge and cess.
Like all equity investments, ELSS Funds carry market risk and can experience high volatility, especially in the short term. Additionally, they come with a three-year lock-in period, which can make them unsuitable for those who need liquidity in the near term.
Investments of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh in ELSS funds each financial year are eligible for tax deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as per the old tax regime. This means you can claim the tax benefit every financial year, provided you invest in ELSS (or other eligible options) during that year.
Yes, redemptions are allowed in the ELSS Tax Saver Fund after the lock-in period ends for your investment.
No, ELSS funds are subject to market risk and performance/returns are not guaranteed; they depend upon market conditions.
You can use tools such as CAGR calculators and XIRR calculators to estimate the returns on your ELSS tax saver fund returns. You can also refer to AMFI and other reputable websites, along with your AMC’s website, for latest returns data.

An ELSS tax saver fund SIP may potentially benefit you as it allows you to invest gradually while benefiting from tax deductions under Section 80C (old tax regime) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It also helps inculcate disciplined investing and may average out the purchase cost over market cycles, potentially helping mitigate the impact of market volatility. However, a very high risk appetite is needed for equity funds.
ELSS funds may be considered as part of long-term financial planning due to their equity exposure. However, ELSS tax saver fund performance is market-linked and may vary across market cycles. Suitability depends on individual goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
The term for income distributed by mutual funds is no longer called dividend, it is called IDCW Payout. Such income received from ELSS funds are taxable in the hands of the investor. They are taxed as per the investor’s applicable income tax slab rate.
The NAV is calculated at the end of every business day. The latest NAV can be viewed at the top of the Bajaj Finserv ELSS Tax Saver Fund’s scheme page and on the AMFI website.

Our Investment Philosophy reflects what we, as an organisation, believe will generate a good return on equity investment for our investors in the long term. It dictates our goals and guides decision making.
Alpha (a) is a term used in investing to describe an investment strategy’s ability to beat the market.
Alpha is thus also often referred to as excess return or the abnormal rate of return in relation to a benchmark, when adjusted for risk. Essentially, it means doing better than the crowd without taking disproportionate risk.
Collecting superior information
Analysts and portfolio managers strive to collect superior information about the business and the management of the company. They try to generate superior earnings forecast and the balance strength of the company and the industry, thereby trying to 'beat the market' on information edge. This is an important source of alpha for an investor. However, over the years, retaining the information edge has become more difficult and expensive. With a whole lot of investors trying to collect superior information, how can an investor be sure to continuously have accurate and material information about the companies, ahead of others, all the time?
Processing information better
Even if you don't have material information earlier than the crowd, you can still generate better outcomes if you are able to process this information better. Investors develop models and algorithms with enhanced predictive powers to forecast the next move. Fund managers who invest based on some pure formal analytical models are quantitative managers. Here, the goal is to try and beat other investors based on the sophistication of procedures or analytics. The analytical edge can be quite useful until it gets copied by many, and then it may stop generating superior returns.
Exploiting behavioural biases
As the name suggests, this edge is achieved by superior behaviour in reacting to the inputs available to maximise alpha. Modern finance assumes people behave with extreme rationality. However, researchers in behavioural finance have shown that this is not true. Moreover, these deviations from rationality are often systematic. Behavioural managers try to exploit situations where securities are mispriced by the market because of behavioural factors. At Bajaj Finserv AMC, we endeavour to combine the best of these edges.
