Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Check your own auto and transportation fund's one-year return against the 6.66% category average. Since these are sectoral funds concentrated in one part of the market, returns can differ widely, so please review your holding with a CA instead of assuming last year's top performer will repeat.
