For those of you waiting to choose an investment option for tax saving under sec 80 c ( 1 lakh investment limit) , Tax Saving FDs are a compelling option now.
Investment in ELSS funds (Tax saving equity linked mutual funds offered by mutual funds) remains the most attractive option for those who are willing to take risks.

ELSS Advantage
For the investors who are not willing to invest in stocks, Tax saving FDs offered by banks seems to be the best option. Interest rates are offered up to 9.5% on such deposits with a five year lock in period. These deposits score over NSC because of the higher interest rate and a shorter lock-in period.

NSC vs. PPF
Comparing the FDs with PPF, FDs score over in terms of interest rate and lock-in period. But PPF fares better in one sense because the interest you earn on a PPF account is not taxable.
