    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).
