3 It s the Season For Tax Saving Investments Its that time of the year when planning for tax saving investments takes the front seat ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Schemes) are one of the most popular Sec 80C investments wherein investors enjoy both the benefits of equity investing, as well as tax benefits. The lock in for these schemes is 3 Years, comparatively shorter as compared to other Sec 80C investment products The lock-in is also in line with the long term nature of equities as an asset class where staying invested for long durations pays off (See slide 7) Unlike other Sec 80C investment products, investments in Mutual Funds are subject to market risks. HDFC Mutual Fund/AMC is not guaranteeing returns on investments made in this scheme. Investors should be aware that the fiscal rules/ tax laws may change and there can be no guarantee that the current tax position may continue indefinitely. 3

4 Background Salient Features of Section 80C of the Income tax Act, 1961 Section 80C of Income Tax Act, 1961 W.e.f. April 1, 2014 (A.Y ) provides for deduction from gross total income in respect of specified sums paid or deposited Aggregate amount of deductions under Section 80C shall not exceed Rs. 1,50,000/- Section 80C generally has no sectoral limits Eligible investments u/s 80C, inter alia, include: Life Insurance Premiums Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIP) Public Provident Fund (PPF) National Saving Certificate (NSC) Subscription to eligible issue of capital Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) Fixed Deposits with Scheduled / Commercial Banks with 5 years lock-in ELSS are formulated as per the Notification dated December 28, 1992 as amended on December 22, 1998 and Notification dated November 3, 2005 as amended on December 13, 2005 issued by the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry offinance, Government of India. 4

5 The following example illustrates Tax Saving: Assume Gross Total Income for the year is Rs. 12,00,000 Investment in HDFC TaxSaver Rs. 1,50,000 Income on which tax will be paid Rs. 10,50,000 Tax Saved on Rs. 1,50,000/- (Highest tax bracket assumed) Rs. 46,350* * Including education 2% and secondary and higher education 1% This implies that you can avail benefit of Rs. 46,350 in tax savings under Section 80C (assuming highest tax bracket) on investments. This is apart from the returns your investment would possibly earn in the fund Investors should be aware that the fiscal rules/ tax laws may change and there can be no guarantee that the current tax position may continue indefinitely. HDFC Mutual Fund/AMC is not guaranteeing returns on investments made in this scheme. In view of individual nature of tax consequences, each investor is advised to consult his/her own professional tax advisor. 5

6 So Why ELSS? Exposure to equities with a long term horizon. 3 Year lock in ensures money remains invested without taking into account volatility in equity markets. Lock in period lower than other investment options like PPF, NSC or Bank FD`s Options to Invest, Options to earn Investments can be made in lump sums or in regular investments by way of SIP`s as small as Rs 500/- Income can be earned by way of dividend or through capital appreciation based on the investors need Incomes are completely tax exempt Dividends earned on equity oriented mutual fund units are exempt from taxation Long term capital gains earned by way of capital appreciation are exempt from capital gains tax Deduction U/s 80C Maximum deduction claimable is Rs 1,50,000/- in a financial year HDFC Mutual Fund/AMC is not guaranteeing returns on investments made in this scheme. Unlike PPF, NSC & Bank FD`s investments in Mutual Funds are subject to market risks. Hence, the performances are not strictly comparable. There is no assurance or guarantee to unit holders as to the rate/quantum of dividend distribution nor that the dividends will be paid regularly. In view of individual nature of tax consequences, each investor is advised to consult his/her own professional tax advisor. 6

The current investment strategy is subject to change depending on the market conditions 9

10 Current Portfolio Strategy In order to provide long term capital appreciation, the scheme will invest mainly in growth companies The companies selected under this portfolio would generally consist of medium to large sized companies which: Are likely to achieve above average growth than the industry Enjoy distinct competitive advantages; and Have superior financial strengths The aim will be to create a portfolio, which represents a cross-section of strong growth companies in the prevailing market In order to reduce the risk, the portfolio will target reasonable diversification HDFC Mutual Fund/AMC is not guaranteeing returns on investments made in this scheme. The current investment strategy is subject to change depending on the market conditions 10

11 Economy : Ready, set, go A stable, proactive, long term focussed Government, stress on reviving capital expenditure, financial inclusion, gold monetization, resolving stalled projects, roads and railway spending increased, etc. Falling inflation low commodity prices, improving supplies & Real rates above 2% indicate lower yields going forward Recent IIP readings are encouraging Forex reserves represent a healthy 9 month import cover FY 14 FY 15E FY 16E FY17E CPI (Average %) WPI (Average %) Real GDP Growth $ (%) Fiscal Deficit (% GDP) CAD (% GDP) Steadily improving growth; Capex expected to revive in FY17 Forex Assets (Incl.

Market Valuations Remain Below Long Term Averages Steps taken in the key areas of roads, railways, mining, power and housing should start yielding results now and lead to faster economic growth Roll PE (LHS) average (LHS) BSE (RHS) 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 Economy and equity markets appear to be in transition from consumption to capex. Improving margin outlook of corporates, likely lower interest rates, soft commodity prices and reasonable valuations lead to a positive outlook for equity markets over the medium to long term ,000 10,000 5,000 0 In our opinion therefore, post the sharp correction there is merit in increasing allocation to equities (for those with a medium to long term view) and to stay invested. Reasonable P/E s at cyclically low margins lead to positive outlook for equities Source: CSO, CLSA HDFC Mutual Fund/AMC is not guaranteeing returns on investments made in this scheme.
