   First create an emergency fund to handle emergencies, then plan for retirement, if retirement investment is too liquid you may find excuses to take the money for other purposes (by calling it emergency :))

   For long term wealth creation (like retirement planning), there is nothing better than equities, and investing in mutual funds are safer than direct equity for regular investors.
   And saving a fixed amount every month –> investing a fixed amount in mutual fund through SIP is the best option you have.
   But my suggestion would do not mix retirement corpus and emergency fund together.
   Investing for retirement planning should not be touched, and for ‘easy withdrawal in case of emergencies’ –> Create an emergency fund (3-6 months expenses) that you can keep in bank FD/Debt fund for easy liquidity.
   To know how to build an emergency fund read below:

   For retirement planning you should create a mutual fund portfolio with 3/4 fund depending on your total amount, and goal amount etc –> combination could like following:
   1 large cap, 1 large-mid cap, 1 small-mid cap and 1 balanced fund.

   But decide your asset allocation first (in what proportion you want to mix different asset classes – equity, bonds, fixed income, gold, cash etc in your portfolio), know more about asset allocation in below:
