No lock-in period!

There is no lock-in period and the customer does not have to maintain a minimum balance.

"This is our second product in the Mutual Funds space after Tax Saving Funds where we have created a completely digital investment flow for our users," said Terence Lucien, Head of Mutual Funds, PhonePe, as per a report by IANS.

"We will continue to add more such financial solutions for our users to manage their money and fulfill their life aspirations in a better way," Lucien added.

Start with Rs 500

Users can begin saving with as low as Rs 500 in a completely secure and paperless process in less than 5 minutes.

Anytime withdrawal facility

Customers can withdraw their money instantly. For Instant withdrawal, they can withdraw 90 per cent of the balance, up to Rs 50,000 per day that will be credited to the user's bank account within 30 minutes. The balance will be credited within two working days.

PhonePe said that the 'Liquid Fund' product is targeted at users including those from smaller towns and cities, who have never experienced solutions beyond savings accounts.
