Survey says over 80% of Indian workers could last under a year
In short
A Grant Thornton Bharat survey found that over 80% of people said they could pay living costs for less than a year if they lost their income. The result suggests many workers feel secure, but their savings may not last long.
This matters because it points to weak financial backup for households. The report does not say how many people were surveyed or when it was done.
What the reporting says
A Grant Thornton Bharat survey found that over 80% of respondents said they could sustain living expenses for less than a year if their income stopped. The report says Indian workers feel financially secure, but the savings result points to a large gap in resilience. It does not state the survey size, the timing or whether this was measured across sectors or income groups.
Why it matters
The Grant Thornton Bharat survey suggests a savings gap among Indian workers, with over 80% of respondents saying they could cover living expenses for less than a year if income stopped. That points to limited financial resilience despite a sense of security. The report does not provide survey size, methodology, or whether the result differs by age, sector or income level.
