2.fixed deposit for 5 year allowed but i am not getting the meaning of word scheme framed and notified under central govt.

23 December 2011 1) There is no time limit to hold the mutual fund, on sale of mutual fund it will taxable as STCG or LTCG as the case may be.

2) Total deduction that can be claimed under 80C is Rs. 100000/- and hence mutual fund investment should be restricted to that amount.

23 December 2011 1) ELSS Investment which qualifies for deduction u/s 80C has a Lock-in-Period of 3 years. Maximum deduction available Rs 1 lac.
