Business Standard
|June 24, 2025
To provide a better picture of living standards, wealth disparity
In an ambitious move, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation (Mospi) is set to launch the household income survey (HIS), starting February next year.
The survey will be used to calculate average income of rural and urban households, statistics minister Rao Inderjit Singh told Business Standard.
"Household Income Survey has also been planned for launch by the ministry from February 2026 for the purpose of estimating average income of rural and urban households," said Singh.
The upcoming survey by the National Statistics Office (NSO) marks renewed efforts at collecting data on household income in India.
It is set to provide a better picture of living standards, poverty incidence, income and wealth disparities and consumer behaviour in the country compared to the currently used household consumption expenditure surveys.
