People do invest their savings for the sake of getting tax rebates. One of the most popular format of savings and investment in India is NSC (National Savings Certificate). It gives the tax rebate to the investor under s/c 80C on Indian Indian Income Tax act. The same tax benefit is given by another new investment option better known as ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme).
