Answer 2

The poverty line is basically defined or identified as a minimum income threshold and the income groups below this minimum threshold are considered as below poverty line.

Explanation:

In India,the methods and process of poverty estimation has been laid by the erstwhile Planning Commission of India based on recommendations from various expert and professional groups.Previously,it was measured based on the expenditure on food with a nutritional value of at least 2400 calories for rural areas and 2100 calories in urban areas.Following 2011,Suresh Tendulkar Commission stipulated that the poverty measurement should be based on monthly expenditure of any household on food,educational,medical facilities,health and transport.Under this regulation,families of 5 with a monthly expenditure less than INR 4080 in rural areas and INR 5000 in urban areas are considered to be under poverty line.Lately,the Rangarajan Panel considers anyone living on less than INR 32 per day in rural areas and INR 47 per day in urban areas are considered to be "poor".
