• The graph for 2012 is more flattened compared to that of 2001/02 and 2006/07, indicating a spread in the income distribution
• The household deriving high income has increased, e.g., 13% of households had an average monthly income of Rs 50,000 or more in 2012 compared to only 2% ten years back

Trends in income inequality - Gini coefficient, 2001/02 to 2012
2001/02 2006/07 2012
Gini coefficient 0.371 0.388 0.413
A higher Gini coefficient over the past 10 years indicates income inequality is on the rise
The further away the curve is from the equality line, the larger is the Gini coefficient, i.e. higher income inequality.
