It takes 30 seconds to break an FD. You just need to bear a the penalty of 1% lower interest rate depending on how long you've held the investment.

PPFAS is planning to launch a Liquid fund with Insta redemption. Meaning you can redeem the units and money will be credited to your account within 30 mins. I think this should be best for parking emergency funds (something like a sudden hospital expense)

As far as saving up for expenses in case you lose your job, then ig you can go for fds in senior citizens name (probably ur grandparents) or go for debt funds giving good returns. Cuz here you don’t need the money instantly, you’ll need it over the span of a couple of months Fds for senior citizens give you around 7.5% returns, debt funds give around 8 to 9% return But fds are insured up to 5 lakhs, on the other hand debt funds come with a credit risk

What do you think? Any other alternatives?
