Mar 2012: HDFC Life, in association with ValueNotes, has published a report that assesses the state of financial freedom of Indian urban women, their awareness about available products, and their sufficiency and adequacy of financial planning. Over 400 urban women were interviewed in a survey conducted in January 2012 across 11 Indian cities.

The Indian urban woman is becoming financially independent and has a higher sense of financial liberty. However, she is not completely financially free and needs improvement on aspects such as financial planning, sufficiency and adequacy, and has a long way to go when it comes to goal-based financial planning.
