Points to remember while investing in ELSS
- Money invested in ELSS are directly related to stock market, risk is involved.
- Subsequent investment is also locked for 3 years. For Example you invested via SIP on 01/06/2016 & 01/07/2016 then on 01/06/2019 your units purchased on 01/06/2016 will be available for redemption
- And lastly, you should consider that you can’t reduce the impact of market fall, as you can’t switch or redeem investment before 3 years
