Emergency Fund : Short/Ulrtra Short Term Funds or Liquid Funds

Experts,

I would like to create 3 lac Rs of emergency fund … 

I am confused on how to approach it. I have account in ICICI Bank (+ICICIDirect Trading) and IDBI bank. 

On this forum, I read about Short Term/Ultra Short term funds and liquid funds to accomlish this. 

Question –

1) How should I go about on allocating this (% in Sweep FD, Debt MF and Liquid Fund)

2) Why anybody would choose Liquid or Money Market fund when there is 27% DDT compared to 13% on Short Term/Ultra Short Term funds? 

3) What is benefit of Long Term Debt funds over Short Term Debt Funds.. I mean why anybody would like to lock money for 1 year when same retruns can be available in Short Term Debt Funds? Is there different level of risk attached to them

 

Warm Regards

Samir
