3 Smart Investments That Still Shine in the New Tax Regime
📊Weekly Market Snapshot
Markets rode a rollercoaster this week - plunging on Monday as US-China tariff drama spooked investors, only to bounce back with gap-ups and a surprise RBI rate cut.
Nifty swung wildly but ended the week with a smile, thanks to tariff pauses (well, mostly) and earnings buzz.
From panic selling to full-blown optimism, it was a mood swing worthy of a Bollywood plot.
Meanwhile, Gold and Silver sparkled with gains of 6.5% and 7.9% respectively.
Brent Crude took another slide, shedding 1.25%. The rupee held steady, inching up by 0.8% against the USD.

The Timeless Appeal of ELSS, NPS, and PPF in Investing
New tax regime catching your attention? A common mistake is dismissing 80C investments altogether in favor of the ease provided by the new system.
The danger lies in forgoing these options without understanding their long-term potential. When I first glanced at the new tax regime, I too thought, "Why bother with 80C when it doesn't give me an immediate tax break anymore?" But here's the lesson: financial planning isn't just about tax rebates; it's about building wealth for the future. Are you making the same mistake?
The solution is clear: Look beyond tax savings to evaluate these investments’ intrinsic value.
Statistics Don’t Lie: 72% and the Shift to New Tax Regime
72% of tax filers have switched to the new tax regime, according to government data.
This reveals a significant shift in tax-saving behaviors, signaling fewer people relying on traditional exemptions. While simplifying tax calculations is great, overlooking investments like ELSS, NPS, and PPF could cost you long-term wealth security. If you've joined this majority, ask yourself - are you still covering your financial bases effectively?
The advice? Use these investments as tools for wealth creation rather than just tax-saving.
How to Utilize ELSS, NPS, and PPF for Long-Term Stability
Maximize your wealth-building power with these 80C tools.
Start with ELSS: Commit to long-term equity investments with a three-year lock-in, ensuring your money grows through market exposure.
Secure Your Retirement with NPS: Benefit from disciplined savings locked in until retirement, offering a mix of equity-debt investments.
Stabilize with PPF: Build a safe, guaranteed corpus through government-backed returns - ideal for risk-averse planning.
Now, revisit your portfolio. Take stock of its composition and align it with your long-term goals.
In summary, leveraging these investments strategically ensures you're building a well-rounded financial future.
Here’s Why You Should Incorporate These Investments
These investments aren't just relics of the past - they are practical and effective today.
ELSS inculcates financial discipline and rewards patience with market-linked returns.
NPS ensures your retirement dreams stay untouched, thanks to strict withdrawal rules.
PPF provides stability, shielding you from the uncertainties of volatile markets.
For instance, a close friend who overlooked these investments ended up with limited retirement savings and excessive reliance on risky stocks. Learning from their experience, I reshaped my approach to include all three in varying proportions.
Their lesson? Diversification and long-term planning trump short-term convenience. Apply this principle to your financial journey - start investing with discipline today.
Think beyond today’s tax returns; focus on tomorrow’s financial freedom.
