Just when the economic activities were coming back on track with the start of the financial year 2021-22 in April, the second wave of coronavirus infection hit the country. Many parts of the country were forced into lockdowns and things again came to a standstill. However, now that we are moving back to normalcy and the government is hoping to vaccinate a large part of the country’s population in the coming months, we can expect things to turn around economically. While the pandemic has been tough for many people who were at the receiving end of economic slowdown and job losses, it has also taught us to plan for sudden economic hurdles that can pop up at any time. While we have lost almost three months of this financial year to the pandemic, we can now at least try to make our lives simple with better financial planning and doing the right things at the right time in the coming months.
