If your slab rate is 20% or more, you may think of investment for 80C.

sir slab rate is 10%

In that scenario, its not advisable as net effect will be nil. Secondly, the investment will have lock in period of minimum 3 years, and if the slab is increased in the next budget, then net impact will be negative.
