If I invest Rs 2000 monthly in ELSS for one year, let’s say starting from 1 June 2013. What will be the lock-in period end date for each monthly instalment?

Hi Mohit,
ELSS lock period is for three years. Thus, each SIP
installment gets locked in for three years. So, if your first SIP installment
is dated 1st June 2013 its lock in ends in the month of May 2016. The next
month’s SIP lock in will end in July 2016 and so on. The last SIP instalment
made in May 2014 will end on April 2017.
