 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (i) only
Answer: (c)
CPI includes indirect taxes. So, when government increases the GST rate, it is captured in the CPI data.
But in the new series of WPI (2011-12), the government has excluded indirect taxes while measuring WPI. This is in consonance with international practices and will make the new WPI conceptually closer to the Producer Price Index (PPI).
