Deduction under section 80C (2)(xiii) is allowed for investments in mutual funds either coverd by notification referred in section 10(23D) or those covered under 'equity linked savings scheme,2005'. An investor has to specifically look into the above condition's otherwise tax benefits may loose. I am not sure about the tax benefits of the schme's referred in the query.
