All of these mutual funds are normal equity diversified or monthly income plans and no tax benefit is available for these.

There is a different category of tax saving mutual funds (ELSS) in which you can invest to save income tax under section 80C.

Some of the best funds under that category are below:
Canara Robeco Equity Tax Saver
HDFC Taxsaver
Franklin India Taxshield
DSPBR Tax Saver
Fidelity Tax Advantage
