This study examines the evolving landscape of retirement planning in India, focusing on the
influence of personal factors on financial decision-making and long-term savings behavior.
Using a quantitative research methodology, the study surveyed 110 respondents and analyzed
secondary data from government reports and financial institutions. The research reveals a
growing trend towards diversified retirement portfolios, with mutual funds (72.3%),
Employees' Provident Fund (57.4%), and the National Pension System (55.3%) emerging as
the most popular options. Financial security was identified as the primary motivator for
retirement planning (48.9%), followed by a belief in the importance of saving (36.2%). The
study also highlights a significant influence of financial advisors (57.4%) on retirement
planning decisions. Despite increasing awareness and participation in formal retirement
planning mechanisms, a substantial savings gap persists, with 63.8% of respondents having
saved less than Rs. 5,00,000 for retirement. The research underscores the need for enhanced
financial education, leveraging technology for retirement planning, and developing more
inclusive pension schemes, particularly for the informal sector. These findings have important
implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and individuals in addressing the
challenges of retirement security in India's rapidly aging society.
