Income level is an indicator of poverty In India.
Poverty is measured based on the income and consumption levels of people. A minimum income and consumption are required for a healthy life, and failing to reach this level categorises a person as poor. It is the income that is necessary to fulfil basic needs. This level is also known as the poverty line. The poverty line differs with time and place. Therefore, the poverty line varies in different countries and different time zones.
