This paper attempts to analyze the financial status of women in India. Today women empowerment is one of the most important concerns in our country. But still it is an illusion of reality because of lack of their financial liberty. Financial liberty is the vital instrument to expand women’s ability to have resources and to make strategic life choices. This study is based on the primary data which reveals the disempowered financial status of women in our country. Even if they are working or housewives, they have no right to use their earned or saved money. The need is to make them aware of their financial independence by creating supportive infrastructure in the form of digital knowledge and ensure their financial security. Moreover, active participation of women in economic activities and decisions would contribute towards overall economic development.
