Rs 1,58,807
Why?
The correct answer is Rs 1,58,807. Key Points Assam’s per capita GSDP for the financial year 2023-24 is estimated at Rs 1,58,807 (at current prices). This represents a robust increase of 19% over the per capita GSDP recorded in 2022-23. Per capita GSDP is an indicator of the average economic output per person in the state and reflects the general standard of living. The significant growth in per capita income suggests that the state's economic expansion is outpacing its population growth rate. Despite this growth, the figure remains below the national average per capita GDP, indicating a continuing need for economic development. Additional Information Rs 2,15,935: This is the estimated per capita GDP of India for the year 2023-24, used as a benchmark for state performance. Rs 1,19,244 crore: This figure represents the Net Receipts (excluding borrowings) estimated for Assam for the 2025-26 budget. Rs 1,46,642 crore: This is the Net Expenditure (excluding debt repayment) targeted by the Assam government for 2025-26. GSDP (Current vs Constant): Current prices include inflation, while constant prices are adjusted for inflation to show real growth in production volume.
