[Query] Slice Savings Account - Safe?

My personal opinion, Just for 1% or 2% extra interest or cashback do not RISK your money....Rest it is your choice
 
Slice is covered by DICGC's Rs. 5L insurance ... shouldn't be an issue.
On paper, it mentioned that this money is paid within 2 months but check what happened with depositors of failed banks like PMC bank etc...Rest is your choice, it is your money

Afaik those who had <5L in PMC bank got their entire money within a year. Those who had >5L were also returned the money but in a phased out manner over 10 years. Ashneer grover has talked about this in a few podcasts. Upto 5L there is no need to worry. The current financial situation is strong enough to prevent any major collapse. Some or the other big bank will acquire the smaller banks if they collapse to save the depositors money. And anyways govt is planning to raise this 5L deposit guarantee amount soon

bhai..99% janta ke agar 10 Rs gum ho jaye toh saari raat neend nahin aati....Do u think people have patience to wait for 1 year for 5 lakh rupees...What about interest rate lost on 5 lakh for 1 year

It is better to stay away from small banks.....better safe than sorry
 
Better stay away from this bank.

Put your money on Liquid Funds with instant redemption.

You can withdraw 50,000 within half an hour from Liquid Funds.

5 to 6 Liquid funds are enough. You can withdraw 3L immediately.

Park your 5 L in 5 or 6 Liquid Funds.

Returns (around 7%) are higher than this savings account.

It depends on risk appetite. With the current dull markets even MFs r giving muted results. Last 1 yr MF returns r pathetically lower than most FD rates. Slice has a strong business model and has already started showing profitability. It is not going to go bankrupt overnight anytime soon. We can break the fd and withdraw the entire amount within 1min. I would any day trust an RBI regulated SFB's FD over some midcap/aggressive MF in terms if safety and interest.

I'm not recommending here equity.

I RECOMMEND ONLY LIQUID FUNDS (DEBT FUND) for your parking money instead of savings account.

SRK want to INVEST
 
If u r keeping money aside for emergency then yes Debt MFs r fine. Otherwise if u r investing the money to get that extra alpha then debt MFs r a mistake. It is painful to see money rotting at 6.5-6.7% interest in debt MF while the inflation itself is >7%. (And not to mention rupee falling faster than ever). For purely investment purpose we need atleast 7.5% interest which Liquid MFs can never achieve.
