Awareness grows best through conversations — and our financial literacy session on Friday, October 31st, was focused on fostering more meaningful ones.
Following the discussion at Rain Tree Park, KPHB Colony, we interacted with another vibrant group of senior citizens at the Senior Citizen Forum, Gayathri Nagar
The session explored key aspects of financial protection — from managing fixed deposits to staying vigilant in online and offline banking, and maintaining separate accounts to safeguard savings
We discussed fraud protection and the three-day reporting rule that ensures complete reimbursement and, in turn, peace of mind for those impacted
Through real-life examples, we illustrated how digital arrest scams operate, how to recognise debit card risks — both online and at ATMs — and why it is important to respond rather than react to suspicious messages. We encouraged seniors to discuss such messages with family or friends instead of handling them alone — because financial safety grows from awareness that is shared
We also spoke about the importance of proper nominations and registered wills for financial assets. Participants explored safe investment choices such as fixed deposits and government-backed schemes that provide security and stability
We are thankful to the group for contributing to yet another engaging exchange of ideas.
