<P> From November 2017, the World Bank started reporting poverty rates for all countries using two new international poverty lines: a "lower middle - income" line set at $3.20 per day and an "upper middle - income" line set at $5.50 per day . India falls in the lower middle - income category . Using the $3.20 per day poverty line, the percentage of the population living in poverty in India was 60% (2011). This means that 763 million people in India were living below this poverty line in 2011 . </P> <Dl> <Dt> Economic measures </Dt> </Dl> <P> There are several definitions of poverty, and scholars disagree as to which definition is appropriate for India . Inside India, both income - based poverty definition and consumption - based poverty statistics are in use . Outside India, the World Bank and institutions of the United Nations use a broader definition to compare poverty among nations, including India, based on purchasing power parity (PPP), as well as nominal relative basis . Each state in India has its own poverty threshold to determine how many people are below its poverty line and to reflect regional economic conditions . These differences in definition yield a complex and conflicting picture about poverty in India, both internally and when compared to other developing countries of the world . </P> <P> As with many countries, poverty was historically defined and estimated in India using a sustenance food standard . This methodology has been revised . India's current official poverty rates are based on its Planning Commission's data derived from so - called Tendulkar methodology . It defines poverty not in terms of annual income, but in terms of consumption or spending per individual over a certain period for a basket of essential goods . Further, this methodology sets different poverty lines for rural and urban areas . Since 2007, India set its official threshold at ₹ 26 a day ($0.43) in rural areas and about ₹ 32 per day ($0.53) in urban areas . While these numbers are lower than the World Bank's $1.25 per day income - based definition, the definition is similar to China's US $0.65 per day official poverty line in 2008 . </P>
