Tax / lock-in
Watch
ELSS locks each installment for 3 years. Useful only if 80C is open on the old regime - otherwise locked equity.

Holdings weights not on file for this scheme yet.
Same-category peers are preloaded into compare when available.
Behaviour and wrappers - the usual India MF failure modes - not a buy instruction.
Drawdown rehearsal
This scheme’s worst fall on file is about 38%. Before you SIP, ask whether you would keep contributing through a similar drop - pausing on fear is the usual India MF failure mode.
SIP discipline
Review does not mean stop the SIP tomorrow - compare peers first. Stopping on a red label often locks in the worst path.
ELSS lock-in
Every installment locks for 3 years. Only useful if 80C is still open on the old regime - otherwise it is locked equity, not a tax cut.
