5 minutes ago received a call from a friend! ICICI was offering some 10% discount on NFO (Rs. 9 for Rs. 10 NAV). Just asked him, "Who knows it won't go to Rs. 6?"

Better sit on cash in this market instead of investing it.

[btw]

Sit tight and wait for the uncertainty to clear. Divide your investible capital into ten equal parts and keep buying in dips

If the interest rates do decline, which is a very likely scenario, the debt fund with the longest portfolio duration (and earning a fixed rate of interest) tends to benefit the most in terms of capital appreciation, besides being relatively a safe bet.

Check this option, I just added this to the forum:

I consulted my financial advisor specially for this kind of problems, and he adviced me for a different kind of fund. This is not risk free for sure, but option worth considering. And I think, the market is not just "falling" currently. It is more "turbulant"

Simply continue with your SIPs in a falling market.

Very true !

What is your opinion about having some monthly investment in a fund that gives me some liquidity as well a reasonable returns (say 8%)?

I would like to save a small amount, say 1,000 Rs, but I might need to withdraw that if required. Generally, it stays in my bank saving account.
So, in simple words, no great returns expected (may be just a FD), but with no locking and other stuff

Hello!
Keeping some liquidity in hand i.e. saving bank account is also vry necessary; which you can have instantly e.g via ATM. Your 3months expenses must be in this form.
The excess earning should be used as SIP.
