1. Guaranteed Savings Plans

Guaranteed savings plans are safe investment plans from life insurance companies. Investment in these plans is tax-deductible under section 80C and the maturity value is tax-free. These plans guarantee a minimum return on your investment. So, you have a chance to earn higher, but your returns will not drop below the minimum guaranteed amount.

2. Public Provident Fund (PPF) & Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY)

Both PPF and SSY carry similar investment and return profiles. The only difference is that anyone can open a PPF account and only one PPF account. However, only a legal guardian or parent of a girl child can open one SSY per child for up to two girls.
