    PPF is the best instrument in India to invest (considering risk return scenario).

    First invest in PPF till max limit (1,00,000) after that think of any other option.

    Thanks,

    why you intend to invest full one lakh of tax saving component in single instrument, consider mix of instruments with different maturity to suit your needs.

    Tax saving MF has 3 years lock in
    Tax FD/NSC has 5 years lock in
    PPF has 15 years lock in

    try mix and match as per your need, but if you already have achieved financial independence then it is better to invest at the starting of the year, more interest more money

    It is definitely wise to invest it at one go preferably between april 1 and april 5 of every financial year.
