I want to know which is the best investment option between ULIP and ELSS
Functionally, there is nothing common between Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSSs) and Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs). It is a basic rule to not mix up insurance and investments. ELSSs and ULIPs are two different products that serve different purposes. While a ULIP is a mix of life insurance and investment offered by life insurance companies, ELSS is an equity fund. Both are tax-saving investments, but the similarity ends there.
ELSS have predictable costs, easily understandable returns and are transparent about how the fund operates and what it invests in. Not so with ULIPs. From the premium paid, the insurer deducts charges towards life insurance (mortality charges), administration expenses and fund management fees. So only the balance amount is invested. ULIPs have high first year charges towards acquisition (including agents commissions). In order to evaluate the return generated by a ULIP and thus compare it with another investment, you need to take into consideration only that portion of the premium that is invested in a fund. However, you cannot access this information very easily.
In a ULIP, the mix of investment and insurance prevents savers from having a clear cost-vs-benefit understanding of either of the two components. Further, your money is locked for a longer period of time. Thus, you sacrifice both transparency and liquidity. In theory, ULIPs have a five year lock-in, but since terminating the policy early affects returns adversely, in effect it is a ten-to-fifteen-year commitment. The high costs, difficulty in evaluation, lack of transparency and low liquidity doesn't make ULIP a suitable investment vehicle.
On the other hand, ELSS funds provide both tax-saving benefits as well as higher returns from equity investments, and so are preferable as an investment option. If you also want a life cover, go in for pure term insurance rather than a ULIP.

I have purchased a plot in feb 2017...construction started the completion was filed in april 2018 and completion received in feb 2019...if i sell this house now in june 2019 whether it will be LTCG or STCG and why
Dear Sudhir,
As per IT act, Long term capital gain(LTCG) will be considered if you hold your property for more than 24 months. And as per the facts provided by you, Land has been purchased on Feb,2017 and will be sell in the month of June,2019. So it will be LTCG.
For further discussion you can drop your query on cashashank2106@gmail.com
Since you are selling the house and house was completed in April 2018 there it would be short term capital gain as its been 15 months of such construction and to qualify as a long term capital asset you need to hold the asset for 24 months.
