Kuppuswamy’s scale
(AICPI) • For income, the conversion factor can be obtained by dividing AICPI by 60. 04. The income group in the Kuppuswamy’s scale are multiplied with the conversion factor to get the appropriate income group • Now, since AICPI in Nov. 2011(1) was approximately 921, hence 921 divided by 60. 04 = 15. 33.
Table - 2 : Recalculated family income groups of the Kuppuswamy’s scale as on Nov 2011 Income Original Modified by using conversion factor (multiplied by 15. 33) Score > 2, 000 > 30, 660 12 1, 000 -1, 999 15, 330 – 30, 644 10 750 -999 11, 497 – 15, 314 6 500 -749 7, 665 – 11, 482 4 300 -499 4, 599 – 7, 649 3 101 -299 1, 548 – 4, 583 2 <100 < 1, 533 1
Table - 3 : Socio-Economic Class Total Score 26 - 29 16 - 25 11 - 15 5 - 10 Below 5 Class I II IV V Description Upper class Upper middle Lower middle Upper lower Lower • The Total score in Kuppuswamy’s classification is calculated as the sum total of the three scores, i. e. , Education (A)+ Occupation (B)+ Income (C) Depending on the total score so computed, the five socio-economic classes are as given in Table-3.
