Personal Finance is the application of principles of finance to the monetary decisions of an individual or family unit. Another noteworthy fact is that women do not have the same relationship to finance as men because there are many striking differences between them. Both men and women should be financially efficient to take appropriate financial decisions for themselves and their families. The study aims to get a clear understanding of the existence of a gap in the investment pattern and investment distribution of women as compared to men with the objective of providing a basis for assessment as to what should be done in order to make sure that women are not financially disadvantaged. The data was collected by distributing structured questionnaires to 150 respondents in Urban Bangalore
