@siva @ShubhS9

Can you please advise on below -

  1. My understanding was - only LiquidBees & Liquid ETF is considered as Cash Equivalent. Is “HDFC LIQUID FUND - DIRECT PLAN - GROWTH OPTION” also considered as Cash equivalent?

  2. What are the Pros and Cons of Liquid Fund Vs Liquid Bees/ETF?

  3. Settlement for Liquid Fund - is it same as Liquid Bees?

Yes it is considered as cash equivalent.

Both are almost similar, you can read this post to learn more Liquid funds vs. Liquid ETF/Overnight Funds

Liquid Mutual Funds follow T+1 settlement cycle.

Will the newly launched Bharat Bond Series II (EBBETF0430/EBBETF0431) be allowed to pledge for margin?

If yes, by when can we expect the feasibility in Zerodha?

Thank you
