(An Open-ended Equity Linked Savings Scheme with a lock-in period of 3 years)

As on April 30, 2011

The following example illustrates:

Assume Gross Total Income for the year is ` 10,00,000

Investment in HDFC Taxsaver ` 100,000

Income on which tax will be paid ` 900,000

Tax Saved on `̀̀̀. 100,000/- (Tax Rate assumed: 30%) `̀̀̀ 30,900*

5

Tax Saved on `̀̀̀. 100,000/- (Tax Rate assumed: 30%) `̀̀̀ 30,900*

*Including education cess @ 2% and secondary and higher education cess @ 1%

This implies that you can avail benefit of ` 30,900 in tax savings itself on investment.

This is along with the returns your investment would possibly earn in the fund

Why HDFC TaxSaver?This is how an amount of ` ` ` ` 10,000 invested on March 31, 1996 would

have performed on March 31, 2011
