The Subtropics are the regions between the Tropic Circle of latitude and the 38 th parallel of latitude in each hemisphere . India lies in the Northern hemisphere and is between 8 degrees 4 north latitude and 37 degrees 6 north latitude . This area is between the Equator and 38 north latitude . Hence by definition India lies entirely in the Tropical and Subtropical regions of the Northern hemisphere .
