Frequently asked questions.
How much money should I have in my Emergency Fund?
It’s recommended to keep a minimum of 4 months of salary as your Emergency Fund. If you have dependents (like family), then 6 months or more of your salary is a must. Since this can’t be built overnight, you need to start investing now and gradually reach the final amount. Having an Emergency Fund is a priority, you can cut down on other investments in order to first crisis-proof your future.
Will my capital be 100% safe in Emergency Fund?
As your money will be invested in Liquid Mutual Funds, your money will not really have down-market risks. These funds earn decent returns without being volatile. Historically, the growth has been in a range of 3% to 6% on an annualised basis.
In case I am in an emergency and want to withdraw from my Emergency Fund, how soon will I get the amount?
If you have placed a withdrawal request before the cut off time i.e. 1:30 PM on a working day, then the money will be transferred to your registered bank account by the next working day. In case the same is placed after 1:30 PM, then the money will be transferred to your registered bank account within the next 2 working days.
