The article "ELSS vs PPF: Which Tax-Saving Option is Better?" compares two popular tax-saving investments in India: Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) and Public Provident Fund (PPF).

Returns above Rs. 1 lakh are taxed at 10%. PPF, a government-backed savings scheme, also offers tax benefits under Section 80C.
