“This Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible strides women are making towards financial independence, particularly in retirement planning. For years, financial security in old age was largely seen as a man’s responsibility, but today, women are rewriting this narrative. The increasing participation of women in retirement planning has empowered them to build a secure and promising future. As on 31st March, 2024 women constitute 45% of total subscribers under NPS and APY.
PFRDA remains committed to ensuring that our pension offerings are accessible and beneficial for girls and women across all sectors through continuous awareness initiatives, outreach programs, and financial literacy drives”.
Muskaan Sarin, Director of TARC Ltd.
Real estate is a reliable financial safety net, offering steady returns through rental income and property appreciation, even during economic uncertainty. We encourage women to invest in real estate for true financial independence and empowerment. No longer a male-dominated space, women now prioritize property ownership over traditional assets like gold, with a growing preference for larger and luxury homes. Government policies further support this shift with lower home loan rates, reduced stamp duty, tax benefits and initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which promote female homeownership. TARC proudly supports women, inspiring them to purchase homes and embrace an elevated lifestyle as owners of luxury developments.
