Tax saving funds or ELSS are mutual funds in which investments qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C of the income tax in a financial year. Both the funds short-listed by you are part of the OLM Elite list for beginners. These have a good track record and performance history over different market cycles, making them a suitable choice to invest in to save taxes and also build wealth. Make sure you invest a few times during the year instead of a onetime lump sum or monthly SIP.
