This is higher by 10.4 per cent compared to Rs 93,293 during 2015-16.

“The per capita income in real terms (at 2011-12 prices) during 2016-17 is likely to attain a level of INR 81,805 as compared to INR 77,435 for the year 2015-16,” the estimates said.

At constant prices, the growth rate in per capita income is estimated at 5.6 per cent during 2016-17, as against 6.2 per cent in the previous year.

The Central Statistics Office said India’s GDP is expected to slowdown to 7.1 per cent during 2016-17 from 7.6 per cent in the previous fiscal mainly due to slump in manufacturing, mining and construction activities.

The CSO projections on national income are in line with the Reserve Bank’s estimates, which too had lowered the GDP growth prospects to 7.1%.
