    In all tax saving (elss) funds, there is a lock in period of three years i.e u have to remain invested for at least 3 yrs from the date of investment.You cannot withdraw your money from a Tax Savings Funds for 3 years.

    For eg. If you have invested your first installments (through SIP) in An ELSS fund on 1st January' 2008, then its lock in period will end on 1st Jan' 2011 and the second one if invested on 1st February' 08 then its lock in period will end on 1st Feb' 2011.

    Income generated from profit of the mutual fund will be given to the unit holders in form of dividends in dividend funds and the income from the fund will be reinvested back into growth fund. So the net effect is that the dividend funds NAV keep decreasing when the MF make dividend payout, but in growth, NAV will keep on growing. So If you want regular income go for dividend and if you want capital gains go for growth funds.
