The paper reports investigation of a study on the influence of various socio-demographic factors on
different dimensions of financial literacy among the working young in urban India. While the influence of

significantly influence financial literacy. The study also investigates the relationship between the
dimensions of financial literacy. Adding to the growing empirical understanding of financial literacy
across countries, the study provides an analytical basis for enunciating policy for enhancing financial
literacy of youth in India.
