Notes: -


1.
The index measures the average change in Consumer Prices over a period of time at each centre and as such this cannot be used for comparison of costliness among different centres.




2.
All-India CPI(UNME) on base 1984-85=100 may be converted to old base 1960=100 by multiplying it with the linking factor 5.32.
