If you have not yet completed your tax-saving investments for the FY2021-2022 and are worried about completing it before the March 31 deadline, tax-saving funds cannot be ignored.

Investments in these schemes up to Rs 1.5 lakh in a financial year can be deducted under section 80C. These schemes invest in shares of companies of all sizes.

Investments in ELSS (equity linked saving schemes) have a lock in of three years, which helps investors to ride out the volatile phases.
