| Answer: CFP would be a better option.An increasing number of banks like ICICI bank, Standard Chartered Bank and others are making it mandatory for their Relationship Managers to acquire the CFP certification. Regulatory bodies like SEBI, IRDA, PFRDA etc are gradually educating and encouraging individuals to consult CFPs for their financial needs.
According to a recent report, there will be a need for 50,000 CFPs in India in the next few years. Currently India has around 450 + CPFs. As mentioned above, jobs would be offered in banks, insurance sector, financial services sector.
