Indians find life insurance the most suitable retirement planning tool, followed by bank deposits. As much as 75% of the working population and 55% of retired respondents in the country cited life insurance as their primary retirement plan tool.
Indians are pretty clear that they do not want to take risks as far as their retirement planning is goes. Therefore, life insurance and bank deposits, which virtually do not have any financial risks, are the most popular. However, two Indians out of 10 find high-risk, high-return products more appealing.
