hi, invest in LIC it will be useful for ur life & u can claim deduction under section 80 C
[b][/b] Invest in Tax saving Mutual funds it could be helpful of minimum lock in of only a year :D
Investment in Tax Saving Units of Mutual funds have 3 year lock in period. This is the only scheme with lesser lock in period and deduction U/s.80C
In case a person is having children then he can claim tax exemption on the tution fees paid in school.

One can avail exemption in Fixed deposits maturable in period of 5 years.

Amount paid as a contribution by an employee to a recognised provident fund or an approved superannuation fund.

Any amount paid as subscription in National saving certificate(VI and VII Issues) :)


invest in MF
I think LIC investment has no lockin period
