In India many of the researchers commonly use BG Prasad’s Classification of Socio-Economic Status (SES) scale in the process of doing a project, dissertation and even for publishing their work in a journal. As it is an income-based scale it needs to be constantly updated taking into consideration the inflation and depreciation of the sovereign currency. Prasad’s socio-economic status scales measures socioeconomic status of people of both rural and urban community based on the per capita monthly income of the family. The All India Average Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) is used to calculate the revised updated categories of income for September 2022.
Keywords : BG Prasad Socio-economic status scale; All India Average Consumer Price Index; Per capital monthly
