What to include in your biodata
What the Occupation & Income section should cover
- Give the role and the employer — 'Senior Analyst, Deloitte, Hyderabad' answers three questions at once.
- For a family business, say what the business does and your part in it.
- State income as an annual figure in lakhs, or a band, or leave it out — all three are normal.
- Give the work city, since location often decides whether a proposal proceeds.
- If you are between roles or studying, say so plainly rather than leaving a gap.
What to leave out
- Writing 'Private job' — the single least informative entry on any biodata.
- Quoting a monthly take-home when the convention is annual, which reads as a tenth of your actual income.
- Listing a title so internal it means nothing outside your company.
- Overstating income, which is the fastest way to lose a family's trust once conversation begins.

Frequently asked questions
Should I mention salary in a marriage biodata?
It is optional. Many families include an annual figure or a band; many leave it for conversation. Both are normal — just never quote a monthly figure where the convention is annual.
How do I write occupation in a biodata?
Role, employer and city on one line — 'Senior Analyst, Deloitte, Hyderabad'. For a family business, describe the business and your part in it.
What if I am currently not working?
Say so plainly — studying, preparing for exams, or between roles. An unexplained gap invites more doubt than the honest line does.
