SRIKANTH SHANKAR MATRUBAI advises :
Dear Kumar,
It is good to see that you are already thinking of Financial Planning at such an young age. As you plan to get married in 3 years, it would not be wise to invest in Direct Equities or Equity Funds as such, you can consider investing in Balanced Funds which have a high Debt allocation and a bit of Equity Portion as well, namely, DSPBR Savings Plus Fund - Aggressive which has a 70-30 ration in favour of Debt.
Avoid ULIPs. Never mix insurance with investments.
For Tax Savings, invest in Good ELSS like
Fidelity Tax Advantage Fund
HDFC Tax Saver Fund
Sundaram Tax Saver.
See my other posts in my blog for more details.

Regards,
Srikanth Shankar Matrubai
