Will the BSL Cash Plus returns be comparable to bank FD

I would like to invest in a liquid fund as a contingency fund using the SIP route. The time line for investment is about 3 years. What could be the reason for the low AUM for Escorts Liquid fund although this has been the best performing fund over the years. I have also noticed that I am not able to invest in this fund through my Demat Account - Escorts Liquid Fund doesn't figure in the list of funds. I have therefore narrowed down to BSL Cash Plus - Growth fund. Will this serve my investment objective mentioned above and also generate returns comparable to a bank FD? Do you have any other recommendations on the best performing liquid funds?
