Top 5 ELSS Funds in India

ELSS is Equity Linked Savings Scheme and is tax-saving mutual fund that invests in equity and equity-related products. These schemes directly involve in investing in stock markets and carry a inherent amount of risk and can give handsome returns as well.


Top 5 ELSS funds

The above is the screenshot from the http://valueresearchonline.com/ for analysing all type of mutual funds. I took up a look on the currently available ELSS funds in the market and did some analysis to get this list. This is based on their past performance and this can be well be a probable indication of their future but not their future.

To quote the top 5 ELSS funds for this FY 2011-2012,

1. Fidelity Tax Advantage
2. Canara Robeco Equity Tax Saver
3. Tauras Tax Shield
4. HDFC Tax Saver
5. Sahara Tax Gain

In the case of ELSS, you get up to 30% returns (because of saving tax) before hand and even if you get 2-3% less after 3 years, it would have beaten any well managed fund by leaps and bounds. So, its always better to put your remaining amount after your PF into ELSS if you want better returns.

Be aware that ELSS doesn't give any assured returns. If anyone says that you will get 16% assured returns every year, they are fooling you around, and its better you walk two steps ahead them, so them you don't hear them. There won't be any assured returns if you see any market, stock, unit-linked kind of words in front of you. Have fun.

    Hm...
    I do agree about the list but Religare Tax Plan should be in the List purely because of its potential to deliver above average returns during Bullish Phases.

    Even during the bearish phases the Fund has performed well.

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t...

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors. It has loads of features and highlight of them all is the connection through the Internet through WLAN. You can get a Internet connection from the service provider and ask for the wi-fi router. With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN.

In Nokia E51, You have the option of Browse WLAN right at the home page for you. If you have customized for something different, u...
