Festival season in India is often synonymous with big celebrations and a whole lot of crazy shopping. Right from the big-ticket purchases like a new home or a car to jewellery, gifts, clothes, and electronics, the list just goes on. Adding to this, retailers offering tantalizing festive season deals & discounts further excite and tempt even the stringent of customers.

If your answer is Yes, all you need is a little financial planning to ensure that you can have your cake and eat it too. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy the upcoming festive season without having to deal with a financial hangover later.

However, exhausting your in-hand cash or swiping your credit card can quickly deplete your bank account and often leads to piling up of unnecessary debt to be dealt with later. It is, therefore, extremely important to exercise financial discipline during this time so that you enjoy this much-awaited season without denting your pocket.
