...plans with tax breaks of up to 4% of gross salary. But because of dismal market conditions, enthusiasm for the products has been low. It's a good idea to take advantage of tax breaks, but customers must also be comfortable with the underlying investment. Says Modray: "The tax wrapper should not be the primary reason for investing.
