7 Tax Saving Investments That Suits Your Needs


Pension Plans:

The pension plans are not that good as the national pension system, as they do not enjoy the tax benefits as the NPS do. The retirement funds from mutual funds are not really pension products.

Pension plans also do force the investor to put a larger portion of the corpus in an annuity which is 66 percent.

Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme:

Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme is a welcome step by the govt. of India which is a part of its “Beti Bachao - Beti Padhao” initiative and was launched on 22nd January 2015.
