It has been published and distributed by Times Group Books for IIFL and is expected to be available in multiple languages. The book is priced at 125 and is also available online.
A special event was organised at Reliance TimeOut Store, Ambience Mall, Gurgaon, and the book was launched by Amar Ambani, head of research, IIFL and Anil Mascarenhas, editor, IIFL. In his message on the launch of the Hindi and Gujarati versions of the book, Nirmal Jain, chairman, India Infoline Group, said, "The government and the regulators are stepping up efforts to increase financial literacy. Our objective is to light a flame, which will remove the darkness of financial illiteracy and steer the inclusion of masses in country's financial growth and prosperity. While the government's emphasis on financial inclusion is to widen the reach of banking services to unbanked rural areas, we endeavour to complement the effort by helping people make the most of the available banking and financial services."

India Infoline Limited’s (IIFL’s) book on financial literacy titled 108 Mantras for Financial Success is specially conceived and conceptualised under IIFL’s FLAME (Financial Literacy Agenda for Mass Empowerment) initiative towards spreading financial literacy amongst masses. A special event was organised last week where the book was launched by Nirmal Jain (Chairman, IIFL) and R. Venkataraman (Managing Director, IIFL).
“This book is easy to understand and is elucidated with comic illustrations. They cover nearly all key aspects of financial dealings of an individual. Incidentally, the number of 108 has mythological significance. Many people have limited understanding of how to use financial products to help enhancement of financial security, building up wealth and ensuring a comfortable life post retirement, and how to avoid frauds and losses from unscrupulous agents and schemes,” said Nirmal Jain.
