It is the oldest and the safest debt tax saving instrument. Interest rates keeps on changing every year but are still better than the FD's.

But that's okay, you don't need to do it all by yourself. You can seek help of professionals and we suggest that you should, because professionals will have years of experience in market analysis and they know where to invest your money so that you get the maximum benefit.
