[Query] Slice Savings Account - Safe?

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.
Point here is whether liquid funds are an alternative to slice savings account (for interest).

Yes, as @fradela mentioned liquid funds are categorized as debt funds but with short duration maturity. We can redeem the units and some AMC provide instant withdrawal to savings account.

But let's not consider the return or funds as an investment, slice is a good option to have as secondary bank account for small transactions.
