Mutual Fund Route is the Safest to Enter Rajiv Gandhi Scheme

 


Mutual funds are getting ready to cash in on the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme (
RGESS). Fund houses such as LIC Mutual Fund, UTI, IDBI and DSP BlackRock have already announced their plans to launch RGESS compliant schemes. As per the provisions of RGESS, individuals with a gross annual income of Rs 10 lakh or less can invest up to . 50,000 and claim tax deduction under Section 80CCG.


However, only first time investors, who route their investments through the demat account opened on or after November 23, 2012, or demat accounts which have not yet been used for equity investments qualify for the tax break.


Individuals can invest in either these NFOs or in direct equities (any stock belonging to BSE 100 or NSE CNX 100, equity shares of Maharatnas or Navratnas) or they can buy units of exchange traded funds (
ETFs) investing in RGESS eligible shares.


Over longer period of time, equity is one of the best asset classes. For first time investors, this scheme helps save tax and build an equity portfolio over the long term.


Small investors will find it difficult to build an equity portfolio with a small amount of . 50,000. Also they will find it difficult to track these investments on their own. Hence investors should use the mutual fund route to reduce risk and build a diversified equity portfolio.

Mutual Funds V/S Direct Equity

As you can see from the arguments, many financial advisors believe that first-time investors in the stock market shouldn't invest in stocks on their own, as they wouldn't have the necessary knowledge to research and monitor the stock or stocks of their choice.


Also, they won't have the emotional maturity to deal with the ups and downs of the market. That is why financial advisors recommend mutual fund schemes to investors as a diversified portfolio of stocks is less risky than individual stocks.


First-time retail investors should invest in a carefully constructed portfolio of securities rather than taking exposure through a single stock or a basket of a few stocks. This also helps investors manage the downside risk.


The NFO of DSP Blackrock RGESS – Series 1 is currently open and closes on March 8.
Moreover, buying stocks directly could prove risky because investments under RGESS come with a lock-in period.


There is fixed lock-in period in the first year, when you cannot sell, pledge or hypothecate the shares. The lock-in is flexible for the remaining two years.
You can sell, but will have to buy other eligible securities with the proceeds.


If you buy an individual stock and something goes wrong with it during the lock-in period, you would not even be allowed to sell the stock and book a loss. In the process, you could face a huge loss of capital
