
RBI is custodian of Indian's foreign exchange
reserves.
RBI is the lender of the cast resort. In other
words, when a banks fails to get funds from
any other source it can always depend on
the RBI.
RBI is the controller of credit given by bank
to various sectors of the economy. It controls
credit by adopting the following set of
measures.
(i) Quantitative measures.
(ii) Qualitative measures are also called
selective measures.
Quantitative measures are measures armed
at controlling & regulating the over all
quantum/volume of credit (i.e.-Loans) given
by commercial banks to various sectors of
the economy.
Quantitative measures are —
1. Bank Rate (BR)
2. Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
3. Open market operations (OMO)
4. Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR)
5. Repo/Reverse Repo.
Bank Rate : Bank Rate is the rate of interest
at w hich the RBI provides a ssistanc e to
commercial banks. When this rate is raised it is
called "Dear money policy". Generally this rate
may be raised during a period of inflation may
be lowered during a period of recession.
Cash Reserve Ratio : - It is that ratio of the
total deposit of a bank which it has to necessarily
keep with the central bank of a country at any
given point of time the ratio generally may be
raised at the time of inflation & lowered at the
time of recession.
Statutotry Liquidity Ratio : SLR is that
Ratio of the total deposits of a bank which it has
to maintain & keep with itself in the form of liquid
funds i.e. in the form of —
(a) Cash in hand
(b) Governments securities.
Open Market Operations (OMO) : OMO are
operations conducted by the central bank of any
country under which of may buy government
securities from commercial bank or sell securities
to commercial bank.
Repos — Repo means repurchase options
exercised by the RBI since 1992 under which RBI
buys govt. Securities from banks repos are
essentially short term operations conducted to
manage the supply & demand of liquidity. In a
short period. Thus repo means injection of
liquidity by the RBI.
Reverse Repo — Reserve repo-operation
started by the RBI since 1946 implies that it is
banks which lend to the RBI by buying govt.
securities from the RBI for a short period with a
promise to sell them back to the RBI on a specified
date at a certain price.
Thus reverse repo imply absorption of
liquidity under which banks give loans to RBI
against govt. security for a a short period.
Qualitative measures are those aimed at
controlling not only the quantum but also the
purpose for which the loans are given by banks
to various sectors of the economy e.g. wine
making or wheat production.
 Qualitative measures are —
1. Rationing of credit.
2. Regulation of credit for consumption
purpose.
3. Variation of margin requirements.
4. Moral control.
5. Direct action.
Rationing of Credit — Under this method
the RBI directs banks to give credit in accordance
with the importance of various sectors in economy
from time to time eg. It has directed banks that
they must give 40% of their total credit at any
given point of time to priority sector as identified
by the RBI which consists of sectors like
agriculture, small scale industries. Road & water
transport, retail trade, low cost housing, poverty
alleviation, employment generation etc.
Regulation of credit for consumption
purpose — RBI directs banks to restrict credit
for purchase of consumer durable like TV, fridge
etc. & instead give more credit for productive
purpose.
Variation of margin requirements — The
RBI directs bank from time to time to vary (raise
or lower) margins on loans given by banks
particulary for sensitive & essential commodities
eg - when a person required to take loan for a car
then bank will give 85% loan & ask 15% for
paying on his own (down payment).
Moral control — When banks defy from the
instruction & regulation of RBI, the RBI gives
moral pressure or advice from time to time to
restrain from doing it & when the banks do not
obey, it allows the public to know about it.
Direct Action —
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

Charge penalty interest rate.
Stop lending.
Moratorium for few months.
Cancel the license of the bank.

Demography is a statistical study of human
population.
It studies a variety of variables related to
population like size, growth, distribution,
density, composition & their spatial &
temporal variations.
Theory of demographic transition -

Theory of demographic transition is credited
to Frank W. Notestein, who gave his theory
in 1945.
 The four stages have been described below.
First stage (high stationary stage) - Stage
of high birth rate & High death Rate.
 Birth & death rates are both high population
growth is slow & fluctuating.
Second stage (Early expending stage)Stage of high birth rate & low death Rate.
 Birth rate remains high; death rate falls.
Population begins to rise rapidly.
Third stage (Late expending stage)- Stage
of decling birth rate & low death rate.
 This stage is characterised by decline in
birth rate, low death rate & low population
growth.
 Birth rate starts to fall ; death rate continues
to fall population continues to rise.
Fourth stage (Low stationary stage)- Stage
of low birth rate & low death rate.
 In the four th stage of de mograp hic
transition, a low birth rate & low death rate
lead to a stationary or decling population.
 It is called a stage of stationary population.
 Birth & dead rate both are low.
Classification of growth of population -

1.

2.


The growth of Indian's population can be
divided into four periods of time.
1891 to 1921 - It is the period of stable
population.
Between 1891 & 1921, rate of growth of
population in India was low.
1921 to 1951 - It is the period of growth of
population.
During this time population has been
increasing at a rapid rate.
The trend of growth of population in India,
since 1921, has been consistently on the
rise. That is why, census commmioner has
reffered the year 1921 as "year of great
divide".
3.

4.
1951 to 1981 - It is the period of population
explosion.
In this period population increased at a very
fast rate. Thus this period is called "period
of population explosion."
1981 - 2001 - It is the period of high growth
with definite signs of slowing down.
Birth & Death Rates -




Birth & death rates in India, are high
compared to most countries in the world.
Birth rate refers to number of children born
per thousand persons in a year.
Death rate refers to number of people dying
per thousand persons in a year.
When it is said that birth rate in India is
23, it means every year 23 children are born
per thousand persons, on an average.
Density of Population -

Density of population refers to average
num ber of people liv ing p er square
kilometre. Density of population in a country
is measured by dividing its total population
by total land area.
National Population policy -

Population policy r efers to all le gal,
admi nistrat iv e pr ogrammes & other
goverment efforts, which aim at reducing
birth rate & improving the quality of life.
 After, independence, the govt. of India
adopted a national policy on population with
the objective to check the increase of living
of people.
 This policy has been revised from time to
time & its scope has been widened.
 It has been very effective in initiating
measures for population control.
 Till now, there has been 3 policy 1. Population policy of 1976.
2. Revised population policy of 1977.
3. New national population policy 2000.
 The govt. of India announced its new
national population policy on feb, 2000.
 The new national population policy provides
a policy framework to meet the reproductive
& child health needs of the people of India
for the next ten years.
National population policy 2000 - This
policy outlined the following objectives to be
achieved.
1. To lower down the total fertility rate (TFR) to
achieve replacement level by 2010.




First synochronized census in India took
place in 1881. Since 1901, it has been taking
place after every decade.
Census 2011 is the 15th census & 7th after
independence.
The slogan of census 2011 is "our census,
our future."
India was the first country to adopt family
planning in world.
According to the census 2011, there are 50
milion plus cities in India as compared to
35 in census 2001.
"Cafeteria approach" to family planning was
adopted during Janta Party government rule
in 1978.
India compared t o a others most
popularc countries in the the world.

the production, distribution and consumption of
goods and services. Economics also concerns

Capitalistic Economy - This type of economy
is characterized by existence of private
enterprise and ownership of all important
sectors of production. This is also known as
market economy.
Socialist Economy - This type of economy
is deals with the principles of Carl Macs. In
this all the production system are in control
of state ownership. For eg. - Russia
Mixed Economy - Mixed economy is
combination of capitalistic economy and
socialists economy. In this government will
provide essential goods and service. For e.g.
- India.
Open Economy - This economy encourages
competition. In Industrialisation all countries
are works on open economy.
Closed Economy - In this types of economy
all the activities are in process with in country
boundary. That country not deals with any
other country.
Developed Economy - This types of economy
is exists in developed country. Income and
life style of peoples of these types of country
is high. USA, Japan are comes in this

ECONOMIC GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
Economic growth : Economic growth may
be defined as a rate of expansion that can move
an under dev eloped coun t ry fr om a n ear
subsistence mode of living to substantially higher
levels over a period of time.


Economic g rowth i s conv ention ally
measured as the percentage increase in GDP
(Gross domestic product) or GNP (gross
national product) or NDP (per capital Net
domestic product) during one year.



Per capital NDP is the most appropriate
measure of economic growth.

Economic growth comes in two forms, an
economy can either grow extensively by
using more resources (such as physical,
human or natural capital) or intensively by
using the same amount of resources more
efficiently. (productively)
Economic Development - Till 1960s,
economic development was often used as a
synonym of economic growth. It is no longer
viewed identical with economic growth. It is now
taken to mean economic growth plus change.

The term change refers to the qualitative
changes in the economy. These changes are
in the form of improvement in technology,
positive changes in attitudes & so or on.

Essentially, economic development in all
socities must have atleast the following
objectives.
1. To increase the availability & widen the
distribution of basic life sustaining
goods.
2. To raise levels of living by ensuring
higher incomes, more jobs & greater
attention to culture.
3. To expand the range of economic &
soci al choices av ailable t o both
individuals & nations.
Human Development Index -

The united nations development programme
(UNDP) introduced the HDI in its first
human development report (HDR). Prepared
under the stewarship of mahbub-ul- Haq in
1990.

HDR, 1990, defined human development as
the process of widening people's choices as
well as raising the level of well-being
achieved.

Essential
components of human
development are equity, sustainability,
productivity & empowerment.
HDI measures the average achievements in
a country in three basic dimensions of the
human development ;
1. A long & A healthy life.
2. Access to knowledge
3. Decent standard of living.
HDR 2010, adopting a new approach,
defines HDI as the geometric means of
normalised indices measuring achievements
in each dimension.
In HDR, 2010 some new measures of
economic development has given.
1. Inequality adjusted human development
index (IHDI)
2. Gender inequality index (GII)
3. Multidimensional poverty index (MPI)
Inequality adjusted human development
index (IHDI) -

THE IHDI accounts for inequalities in HDI
dimensions by "discounting" each
dimension's average value according to its
level of inequalities.
 The IHDI equals the HDI, when there is no
inequality across people but if it is less than
the HDI as inequality rises.
 In this sense, the IHDI is the actual level of
human development (accounting for this
inequality), while the HDI can be viewed as
an index of "potential" human development
(or the max. level of HDI) that could be
achieved, if there was no inequality.
Tender Inequality Index (G11) - Human
development report 1995 includes two gender
index.
 Gender related progress index and gender
empowerment measure.
 Gender progress index and human progress
index shows indifference between male and
female.
 GII reflects women's disadvantage in 3
dimensions 1. Reproductive health
2. Empowerment
3. Labour market.
 The index shows t he loss in human
development due to inequality between
female & male achievements in these
dimensions.
23

If it ranges from o, which indicates that
women & men fare equally to 1. Which
indicates that women fare as poorly as
possible in all measured dimension.
Green Gross domestic product (Green
GDP)-

Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) -



in 1997 human development report first time
included human poverty index.
The multidimential poverty index was
developed in 2010 or ford poverty & HDI &
UNDP & different factors of determine
poverty beyond income based list were used.
The index uses same 3 dimensions as the
human development index such as 1. Health
2. Education.
3. Standard of living.
These are measured using 10 indicators.



The green gross domestic product (green
GDP) is an index economic growth with the
enviromental consequences of the growth
factored in.
Green GDP monest ises t he loss of
biodiversity & accounts for costs caused by
climate change.
Some environmental experts prefer physical
indicators. (uch as "water per capital") which
may be aggregated to indices such as the
"sustainable development index."
In this green GDP 192 country are the
members of it.



Poverty is a social phenomenon where in
section of society is unable to fullfill even
its basic necessities of life.
The poverty has been divided in two parts.
Absolute poverty - When people do not have
enough money to meet the basic threshold
to buy food, shetter, clothing etc. that is
needed for survival it is known as Relative
poverty.
It is also defined in terms of insufficiency of
basic needs.
Relative poverty - This concept is related
to the general standard of living in a society.
When people are poor in comparison to
others around them, but may still have
enough money to survive.
Relative poverty relates to inequalities in a
society.
Planning commission is the authority which
publishes the poverty estimates based on
various rounds of "national sample survey
organisation" (NSSO) on monthly per capital
consumption expediture.
In India, the poverty line is defined on the
basis of calorie intake According to this,
2100 calories a day has been fixed for urban
areas & 2400 calories in rural areas.
Since, NSSO 55th round (1999) planning
commission gives two poverty estimates
based on mixed recall period (MRR) &
universal recall period (URP)
Mixed Recall Period - It gives consumer
expenditure data for five non - food items,
namely clothing, footwear, durable goods,
education & institutional medical expenses
for 365 days & consumption data for
remaining items are collected for 30 days
period.
Universal Recall Period - Consumption
data for all items are collected for a 30 days
recall period.

other than agriculture.
Excessive popula tion p ressur e on
agriculture
Illiteracy
Regional disparities.
Migration from rural areas.
Lack of skilled labour.
Lack of housing facilities.
Limited job opportunities in cities.
Lack of vocational education / training.
Trickledown effect -

Among various factors contributing to
poverty alleviation, Economic growth in
terms of its trickledown effect has always
been regarded as an important factor.
However is not economic growth but also
the sectoral composition of growth.
Human Pover ty Index - Human
development report (1997) first time included
human poverty index.
 HPI has focused on the 3 dimensions of the
life.
1. Living standard.
2. Health.
3. Education.

Human development report (2010) has
introduced the new "multi-demensional
poverty index." first time

It includes the 3 broad components.
1. Promotion of economic growth.
2. Promotion of human development &
tar g et programmes of pov ert y
alleviation.
3. Employment generation to address
multidimensional nature of poverty.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Unemployment can be defined as a situation
when person able & willing to work are
seeking jobs at the prevailing wage level but
they are unable to get the same.
B. Bhagwati committee on unemployment
estimates (1973) set up by the planning
com mission gave 3 est imates of
unemployment these are 1. Us ual pri nci pal statu s (UPS)
employment - Persons who remained
unemployed for a major part of the year.
This
is
also
cal led
"open
unemployment".
2.
Cur rent weekly s ta tus (CW S)
unemployment - Person who did not
find even an hour of work during the
survey week.
3.
Cur rent
dail y
sta tus
(CD S)
unemployment - person who did not
find work on a day or some days during
the sur vey week. This is the
com prehensive
measure
of
unemployment, including chronic as
was as under - employment.
6.
7.
Types of unemployment 1.
Cyclical unemployment - It is the
result of depression in any economy.
2.
Seasonal unemployment - periodic
unemployment created by seasonal
variation in particular industries. eg in the period between past harvest &
next sowing, agricultural laboures are
unemployed.
3.
4.
5.
Educated unemployment - This is
mainley found in urban areas. Those
educated persons who are unable to get
work come under this category.
Under unemployment - It results when
a person contributes to less production
than what he/ she is capable eg. an
engineer working as a clerk is under
employed.
St r uctural
unemp loy ment
Unemploym ent r esulti ng from a
mistmatch between demand in the
labour market & the skills & locations
of the workers seeking employment e.g.
- when computer were introduced there
were jobs but people could not match
the skills required to operate the
computer resulting in unemployment.
8.





Frictional unemployment - Frictional
unem ployment
is
t ransitional
unemployment due to poeple moving
between jobs. It refers to a transition
period of looking for a new job for
different reasons such as seeking a
better job being fired from a current job
or having voluntarily quit a current job.
Seasonal unemployment - It is a type
of frictional unemployment that occurs
in specific activities or occupations
which are characterized by seasonal
work. An example of seasonal
unemployment is the job lessness
during non-cultivation in rual areas.
Natural Rate of unemployment - The
tota l of f rictional & struct ural
unemployment is referred as the natural
rate of unemployment.
Op en unem pl oym ent - Open
unemployment arises when a person
voluntarily or involuntarily keeps
himself/herself out of consideration for
certain jobs.
It is important to note that the type & nature
of unemployment differs significantly in
developing & developed countries.
Unemployment in developed countries arises
due to the lack of effective demand or
econ omic s low dow n, rec ession , or
depression.
It developing countries, unemployment
occurs largerly due to a lower demand for
labour or inadequate employm ent
opportunities in the economy. Such a
situations occurs due to the subsistence
nature of agriculture, A low industrial base
& the small size of the tertiary sector.
All developing countries including India
suffer from structural unemployment which
exists both in open & disguised forms.

In terms of ownershi p public sec tor
enterprise (PSE) comprises, all undertakings
that are owned by the government, or the
public, whereas private sector comprises
enterprises that are owned by private
persons.


27
There is a difference between privatisation
& disinvestment. Privatisation implies a
change in ownership resulting in a change
in managment. Disinvestment is a wider
term extending from dilution for the stake
of government to the transfer of ownership.
The govt. of I ndia c onsti tuted the
"disinvestment commission with Mr. G.V.
Ramakrishna as the chairman in August
1996 to aduise it on disi nvestm ent
programme of public sector enterprises. It
has suggested classification of PSE into core
& non core. In core sector maximum of 49%
disinvestment would be allowed while in non
core disinvestment would be upto 74% PSEs
shares will given to small investors and
employees to ensure wide dispossal of shares
thus introduce mass ownership workers
shareholding. It has also suggested greater
autonomy to PSEs.
To minimize the financial burden on the PSE
the govt. has started voluntary Retirement
scheme (VRS) for the employees. This is
called "Golden handshake scheme."
Privatisation refers to a general process of
involving the private sector in the ownership,
or operation of a state owned enterprise.
Thus it refers to private purchase of all or
part of a company.
Component of New Economic Policy /
Economic Reforms (LPG) - Main components of
new economic policy are liber alisati on,
privatisation & globalisation of the economy.
Liberalisation - Liberalisation of the
economy means freedom of the producing units
from direct or physi cal contro ls by the

Privatisation - "Privatisation in the general
process of involving the private sector in the
ownership or operation of a state owned
enterprise. It implies parting with government
ownership or management of the public sector

economies of other countries in an environment
of free frlow of goods & services across the border.
Policy of Navratnas - Navratna was the title

MONEY MARKET
Micro credit & Micro finance - Micro credit
& micro finance are relatively new terms in the
fields of development. In the literature, the term
micro-credit & micro finance are after used
interchangeably, but it is important to highlight
the difference between both the terms.
Micro-credit - as defined by grameen bank,
symbolizes small loans extended to the poor for
undertaking the self-employment projects that
would generate income & enable them to provide
employemnt for themselves & their families.

3.
SGH Bank Linkage - THe SHG bank linkage
programme, initially launched by NABARD with
500 SHGs on a "Pilot Prject" basis in 1992.

Objectives of SHGs 1.
To build mutual trust & confidence
between the bankers & the rural poor
people.
2.
To encourage banking activities, both
on the thrift as well as credit sides, in a
segment of the population that the
formal financial institutions usually find
difficult to cover.
The linkage of SHGs with banks aims at
using the intermediations of SHG between
bank & rural poor for cutting down the
transcation costs for the both banks & their
rural clients.
Measures of Money Supply -

Self Help Groups (SHGs) : In recent years,
SHGs have emerged as a major strategy for the
promotion of informal credit to the rural poor. In
1992, RBI/NABARD have launched a "pilot
project" & issued necessary guidelines to the
banking system for lending to the SHGs. After
careful thought & study, both the RBI & NABARD,
assiting the SHGs become "normal lending
programme" under priority sector & service area
approach in 1996.
Meaning of SHGs - A self help group is a
voluntary association of the poor people
(Specially women) who belong to the same socioeconomic background. Th SHG promotes small
savings among its members, which are then kept
with a bank.
To meet the needs of the poor by
combing the flexibility, sensitivity &
responsiveness of the informal credit
system with the strength of technical &
administrative capabilities & financial
res ources of the form al cre dit
institutions.
Money supply is the stock of liquid assests
held by the public which can be freely
exchanged for goods & services. RBI
calculates four concepts of money supply.
These are known as measures of monetary
aggregrates or money stock measures.
M1 = currency with the public + Demand
deposits with the banking system + other
deposits with the RBI
M2 = M1 + saving deposits with post office
saving of public.
M3 = M 1 + Time deposits of public with
banking system.
M4 = M3 + All deposits with post office saving
banks (excluding national certificates).

RBI working group on money supply headed
by Y.V. Reddy recommended for dropping
of post office saving aggregates vi2, M1, M2
and M3

The symbol of Indian rupee came into use
on 15th july 2010, Indian is the 5th country
to accept a unique currency symbol.

The new symbol designed by dudaya kumar,
a post graduate of IIT Bombay was finally
selected by the union cabinet on 15th July
2010, the new symbol is an amalgamation
of devanagri "Ra' & Roman "R" without the
stem.

Reserve Money - Reserve money in the cash
held by the public & the banks. In other words,

& RBI in India.
 It is composed of
 Currency in circulations in public (c)
 Other deposist with the RBI (OD) & cash
reserves of the bank with themselves & with
the RBI (CR) thus, reserve money = C + OD
+ CR
L1 = M2 + All deposits with the post office
savings banks (excluding national saving
certificates)
 L2 = L1 + term deposits with term lending
institutions & Refinancing institutions (Fls)
+ Term borrowing by FIs + certificates of
deposits issued by FIs.
 L3 = L2 + Public deposits of non - banking
finacial.
Inflation - It is a sustained increase in
general price level over a particular period of time.
It reduces the purchasing power of money.

Factors on supply & cost side1.
2.
Import cost push factors.
5.
Rise in wages & salaries.
6.
Uncertainties of weather.
1.
Monetary policy.
2.
Fiscal policy - government can reduce
the rate of indirect taxes.
3.
Other measures.

Monetary policy can play a very important
role. For eg. not only through Qualitative &
Quantitative measures, but also through a
measures like market stabilization scheme.

In a country like India other measures has
a predominent role in controlling inflation.
Throughout 2008, inflation rate was very
high govt. adopted the following measures.
Rise in demand / fall in supply.
Inflation is the result of 2 sets of factors-
In India demand pull factors are as follow 1. Rise in population
2. Rise in govt. expenditure particulary
non- planned.
3. Rise in black money.
4. Ris e in m oney supply & defi cit
financing.
5. Rise in wage & salary.
6. Rise in consumerism.
7. Rise in fore reserves.
4.
The latter has a limited role to control
inflation in a country like India particulary
because the govt. may not be able to reduce its
non - planned expenditure although it can cut
indirect taxes.
Causes of Inflation -


Rise in indirect taxes.
Measure to check rising prices - There
are 3 set of measures -
Liquidity Aggregates -

3.
1.
Inc reasing import
commodities
of
essent ial
2.
Strengthening PDS.
3.
Banning expor ts
commodities.
of
essent ial
4.
Invoking ESMA to prevent disruption of
essential services.
5.
Preventing hoarding & black marketing
like it did against cement production.
6.
Thus a mix of monetary policies & fiscal
policy has enabled govt to moderate
inflations.
Inflation in India is measured by using
2 indicies -
Speculation hoarding & black money.
Rise in administered prices.
31
1.
WPI (whole sale price index)
2.
CPI (cost price index)
WPI - It is used to measure the rate of
inflation in the country on a point to point basis
which implies rate of inflation during a certain
week ending this year to the corresponding week
ending last year. This is done on the basis of
wholesale price of 435 commodities collected from
major wholesale market in the country on a
weekley basis. The base year for WPI is 2000-01.
CPI - It is used to measure the cost of living
of a common man on the basis of retail prices
collected every month for 260 commodities which
also includes some services. Thus CPI (IW) is used
to grant clearness Allowance (DA).
 Significantly WPI has weight of 63% given
to manufactured goods, 23% of food primary
commodities & 14% to fuel like labricants.
 On the other hand CPI (IW) gives 57% to
food & primary commodities. This divergence
in the two indicies is not only due to number
of commodities or weight given but also due
to wholesale & retail prices difference.
Pr oducers Price I ndex (PPI) - M ost
developed countries are using it by not taking 3
things into account.
1. Indirect taxes.
2. Transportation costs.
3. Profit margin.
Thus before a commodity reaches the
consumer, rate of inflation is worked out at the
producers level so that corrective measures can
be taken at that level before inflation.
 A committee was set up in India to study
PPI.
Demand pull inflation - Inflation brought
about by an increases in demand is called
"Demand pull inflation".
Cost push inflation - Inflation brought
about by an increase in the cost of the factors of
production is called "cost push inflation."

 There is also a duty called counter vailing
duty (CVD) which is a duty imposed over &
above basic custom duty on such imported
products whose price happens to be lower

of VAT 12.5% & 4%.

evasion because a seller pays VAT on his
sales but gets refands of VAT paid by him
on previous purchase.
 A retailer pays VAT but is refunded VAT paid
by him on good purchased by him on
wholesales. He cannot claim this refund
unless he shows receipt.
 Thus VAT minimizes evasion & this is the
reason that revenues of state govt. have gone
up substantially after the introduction of
VAT.

selling states from buying state. Thus it is an
interstate tax. The rate is 3% it is abolished after
GST was introduced.

service turned out during a given period
counted without duplication."

National Income Agregates
Gross National Product (GNP) -GNP refers
to the money value of total output of
production of final goods & serv ices
produced by the nationals of a country
during a given period of time, generally a
year.
Symbolically,
GNP = C + G + I + (x - M) + (R - P)
Where,
C = Consumption expenditure.
G = Government expenditure.
I = Investment expenditure.
(x - M) = Net exports.
(R - P) = Net factors income from abroad.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - It is the
total money value of all final goods & services
produced w ithin the geograph ical
boundaries of the country during a given
period of time.
Symbolically,
GDp = GNP - (R- P)
When R - P = O then GDP = GNP
Net National Product (NNP) - NNP is
obtained by subtracting depreciation value
(i.e, capital stock consumption) from GNP
Symbolically, GNP - Depreciation = NNP
Personal Income (PT) - It is that income
which is actually obtained by the individual
or nationals.
Symbolically,
Personal Income = National income undistributed profits of corporations.

Payment for social security provisions corporates taxes + Transfer payment + Net
interest paid by the government.
Personal disposable Income (PDI) - When
personal direct taxes are subtracted from
personnal income, the obtained value is
called personal disposable income.
Symbollically,
PDI = PI - Direct taxes
PDI = Consumption + Saving.
National Income (NI) - When NNP is
calculated at factor cost (FC) it is called
National income this meaure is calculated
by deducting direct taxes & adding subsidies
in NNP at market price (MP).
NNPFC = NNPMP - Indirect taxes + subsidies.
or NNPFC = GNPMP - Depreciation - Indirect
tax + Subsidies.
When the national income is measured at
the current year price, it is called National
income at constant prices.
When the national income is measured at
the current year price, it is called National
income at current prices.
The distinction between the two is essential
if one has to gauge the "real" progress of the
economy.
In India, WPI (Wholesale price Index) is the
weighted average of prices of 676 items with
the base year 2004-2005. Out of 676 items,
102 are pr imary articles, 555 are
manufactured & 19 are services items.
