      Dear Monilhariya, I can understand EPF & PPF in your query but what is this PFF thing?

      Please do note Infra bonds are no longer available as tax saving option in current FY i.e. 2012-2013.

      Thanks

    Hi,
    I would strongly discourage you to put your funds into Insurance products if they are for the sole motive of Tax saving. From next year if DTC comes into play, all these tax saving options may be taken away and then you would be sitting with a policy which you would have to service for next 10-15 years !

    Better options are, PPF, SIP for 1 year in to ELSS mutual fund such as HDFC / ICICI Tax Saver.

    Infra bonds have been stopped from this year and hence are no longer a tax saving option.
