Prof. Shamika Ravi(@ShamikaRavi ):Inflation adjusted means that the Rangarajan poverty line is much higher now than it was 13 years back. As of 2023-24, for all India: Rs 1940 (rural) Rs 2759 (urban) Which means that for a family of 4 in urban area, if they spend less than Rs.11,036 per month then they are poor.
