As an investment category, equities tend to outperform other assets like fixed deposits, PF etc over a long horizon. You must look at this from at least a 5 year perspective (3 years minimum lock period in any case) and must be willing to understand that there is a risk element involved while investing in ELSS. If neither of the two point appeal to you, then ELSS investments are not for you.
