Since the fund is an ELSS, after the mandatory 3-year lock-in period, the fund investment will become 'open-ended'. But in this case, you can only sell it at the market NAV then. You cannot repurchase the units and sell them normally (like an actual open-ended scheme). If you purchase the same units after selling, those will be considered a fresh investment and will have to undergo the mandatory 3-year lock-in period again.
You can stay invested in your fund even after 3 years, it is just treated as a normal fund investment thereafter and will be exposed to the same risk and return characteristics like any other equity security. However, do note that the tax benefit will only count once.
