Hi guys,

Most of us are going to switch to New Tax Regime from next FY, given the comparison with old tax regime.

In this case, we wouldn't require to invest in 80C eligible schemes. Hence we should not unnecessarily lockin our further ELSS investments for 3 years.

You can move these SIP's henceforth to some other Equity MF having atleast 65% in equity.

Current ELSS holdings can continue, no harm...

Just a thought, inputs appreciated.

That's a matter of personal choice. I usually don't invest in MF for under 5 years so a lock in or no lock-in jar irrelevant. 

ELSS have also given better returns than some Flexicap /large cap funds.

Continue in elss not from the angle of saving tax but as an alternate/ addition to some other MF.

In case you’re not going to use this in 80C for tax saving - it’s always better to keep SIPs in other funds.. if you aren’t convinced on any other actively managed fund - go for Nifty 50 fund or ETF

Continue PPF, not from tax saving angle but from a long(er) investment angle for your old age.

PPF interest will remain exempt in NTR also.

If you can convince your employer to contribute to NPS (out of your total CTC) then that can save tax under NTS. Employer contribution to NPS upto a ceiling of 10% of salary is exempt.
