Debt Funds as Emergency funds

Asked by: 360 views , ,
Financial Planning

Hi,

Can we have a part of our emergency fund in short term debt funds (like Templeton India short term income) since they have higher liquidity?  I know the performance is based on interest rates but would like to hear experts’ opinion on it.

    I never advise anyone to park “emergency fund” in debt funds. Market holiday, bank holiday or bank strike can effect your timings in “emergency”.

    Just put your such money in fixed deposit with the bank where there is 100% liquidity & you can get better interest than savings account.

    Hope it will Help You.
