Have a look here for rating based on fund's performance :

And also ValueResearch's link :

Personally I'd recommend SBI Magnum Tax Gain ( I have investment in it) and PNB Principal Personal Tax Saver fund ..

Dear prasathvishnu,

I found "Money 101" from CNN's website to be very intresting. Some of the terms used have a diffrent corresponding terms here. (like 401 funds are like our PF funds..).

But overall, it covers how to plan, save, tax, insure and invest..

No you will not get tax exption under 80c

if you hold that fund over a year you can avoid capital gains taxes

I have one query for SBI magnum Tax saver or for any MF, please let me know "Is it mandatory to invest annualy in a mutual fund or just to invest once for three years locking period?" because if we take ULIP policy then we have to invest three years annualy to keep the policy active, I think that should not be the case here, please suggest?
