The notion of balancing the two domains of people's lives due to the worse pandemic situation has put the world to rest; by making people stay at home and perform their regular duties through remote working, and this needs attention. This study aims to identify the various factors that affect women's work-life balance during the lockdown caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. This study attempts to find professional and personal challenges and enhancers for work-life balance amongst working women through a survey of 128 women working in different sectors in South India. The regression analysis findings show that job performance and personal wellbeing are the main determinants of women employees' work-life balance during work from home. This study would benefit all the sectors that employ women to realign their policies, benefit programs, work distribution, and make job changes inside the organization for an employee-friendly remote working experience, thereby improving the workforce's efficiency and productivity. Key words: Work-life balance, Work-from-home, remote working.
