Dear sir,
I have invested Rs.15,000/-in HDFC Top200 and Rs.10,000/- in ICICI prudential some six month back. Considering current market scenario,how long I should continue so as to get maximum retuns on these. Also, kindly tell me the difference between ULIP, ELIP and SIP and which of these is good for tax benefits as well as for good returns.

Wait for a correction next month or so. And then invest in MFs only. Forget ULIPs (like icici prudential maximiser or so). They only invest 65-70% in market & rest (30-35%) is lost.

For investment purpose, go for mutual fund; instead of adopting indirect route through ULIP plans. Moreover, generally,ULIP plan charges are very very heavy compared to mutual fund.
for your insurance buy term assurance policy (very very cheap) and remaining amount you invest in mutual fund.

If u have ICICI, HDFC or UTI bank nearby, u can have mutual funds from them. They have all MFs. It is strongly recommanded not to invest in new MFs, and, once invested, do not withdraw before 4 years (if possible).

Hi,
You could split Rs 50,000 in five instalment of 10,000 and take a SIP(Systamatic investment plan) for it which would be spread over this five month.
This 10,000 PM you should invest in two to three MF.
Can take Magnum Taxgain ,HDFC Taxsaver,Prudential ICICI Tax Plan.

Thanks
Pankaj
