    Question

    The base year for the Consumer Price Index for

    Agricultural and Rural Labourers (CPI-AL/RL) has been revised from 1986–87 to: 
    A 2017 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2018 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2019 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2020 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2021 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    After more than three decades, the Labour Bureau updated the base year for CPI-AL/RL to 2019 from the earlier 1986–87. This change aligns the index with current consumption patterns of rural populations, incorporating a broader set of goods and services, modern pricing data, and updated household expenditure trends from the 68th round of the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES).
