ELSS category average is a chain-linked equal-weight index of 38 funds, based at 100 in 2006 and moving each day by the average return of the funds trading that day. ELSS funds carry a three-year lock-in, so a one-year rolling return describes a gain no investor could have taken at that point. It is built from Regular-plan NAVs, so a Direct-plan fund is being measured against peers that still pay a distributor commission and will tend to look better by roughly that margin. Funds that closed or merged away are not included, so the average reflects those that survived and is biased upward.

The figure beside each is its 5-year rolling average on the Direct plan. Funds are listed alphabetically, not ranked — they started at different times and so cover different market conditions.
