These figures were recommended by the Expert Group to Review the Methodology for Measurement of Poverty, headed by Dr. C. Rangarajan, in its report submitted in 2014. The Rangarajan Committee estimated the poverty line at Rs 972 per person per month in rural areas and Rs 1,407 per person per month in urban areas for 2011-12. Dividing these by approximately 30 days gives roughly Rs 32 and Rs 47 per day, respectively.
