India's per capita income during 2020-21 is estimated to be Rs 127,768, showing a decline of 4.8%, as compared to Rs 134,186 during 2019-20, primarily due to the economic impact of the pandemic and lockdowns. Per capita personal income has become an increasingly common measure of the effectiveness of economic development policy. Per capita income is defined as the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country divided by the number of people in the country. It is a measure of how rich the country's citizens are on average. So, the citizens of India have grown poorer during the last year. Similarly, a state's per capita income is defined by the state GDP divided by the state population. How much an average Indian earns apart from his/her qualifications and knowledge also depends upon the state of residence? Some states provide better employment opportunities due to their location, policies, industrialisation, tourism potential, et cetera than others. Five states — , , Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh — account for half of India's factory workers. Level of urbanisation also plays a key role in determining the per capita income. Other factors which impact per capita income are family composition, share of farming in a region, tax rates, human capital, and factors that are often labeled as socioeconomic, such as the share of immigrants or single-parent households. State level differences in per capita income also highlight the growing economic inequality in India in the period of economic reforms. The rich states are becoming richer and poor states poorer. Regional differences in the standard of living can have serious implications for the economic and political functioning of national economies. At the beginning of the millennium, the per capita income of the five richest states was 145% higher than that of the bottom five states. That difference rose to 289% in 2010-11, and further to 322% in 2018-19. has the highest per capita income at Rs 4.66 lakh, which is more than three times the national average.
