Is it good to invest Rs 5,000-Rs 10,000 idle cash in short term liquid funds that can be withdrawn anytime, and also fetch some income?

The move to invest surplus cash in liquid funds is a good move compared to it being retained in a savings bank account. However, you could also explore the FD-linked accounts available with your bank which is not only liquid but which also offers you better returns compared to what a savings bank account offers. You could try and mix your idle cash into both these options for a few months and then decide on which of these work for you and stay invested in that.
