flag Women’s underinvestment in India, despite high account access, costs the economy Rs 40 lakh crore, experts say.

flag A new Lxme-EY report reveals that enabling women’s long-term financial investments could boost India’s GDP by Rs 40 lakh crore, despite high financial access—over 89% of women have bank accounts and use digital payments. flag Women earn 73 paise per rupee earned by men, with only 8.6% investing in mutual funds or equities, compared to 22.3% of men, and just 14.2% holding pension or provident fund accounts. flag The Women’s Financial Prosperity Index scores India 28.1 out of 100, highlighting that inclusion without ownership is insufficient. flag Experts urge redesigning financial systems to reflect women’s real-life income patterns, citing Lxme Pay, a women-specific UPI platform, as a model for driving investment.
