CEA flags short-term savings habit as key hurdle to pension coverage
India's Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran says Indians are now more willing to take market risk, yet they still save mostly for short terms. That habit makes it hard to build enough money for retirement. If you save only for a few years, your pension pot may fall short, so consider adding a long-term retirement plan alongside your shorter goals.
