Below Poverty Line

Below Poverty Line is a benchmark used by the government of India to indicate economic disadvantage and to identify individuals and households in need of government assistance and aid. It is determined using various parameters which vary from state to state and within states. The present criteria are based on a survey conducted in 2002. Going into a survey due for a decade, India's central government is undecided on criteria to identify families below poverty line. Internationally, an income of less than ₹150 per day per head of purchasing power parity is defined as extreme poverty. By this estimate, about 12.4% of Indians are extremely poor as of year 2012. Income-based poverty lines consider the bare minimum income to provide basic food requirements; it does not account for other essentials such as health care and education. As there is no update of population estimate by the government since 2011, the data on poor people in India is not available. Estimates vary from 34 million to 373 million.

• What Are Above-The-Line Costs? What's Included vs. Below-The-Line

  A different interpretation of above the line can mean all income or expenses related to normal business operations. That's all activity on the income statement that relates to profits and not the transactions that only impact the cash flow statement or balance sheet. In this case, below the line would include only extraordinary or non-recurring income or expenses. Or any transaction that does not impact the company’s ongoing revenue or profits. [...] ## Above-the-Line Costs vs. Below-the-Line Costs Above-the-line costs are generally considered the costs that are connected to creating the company's product. These costs would cover worker salaries, equipment, raw materials, and maintenance. Below-the-line costs are the other expenses that keep the company going. For example, these costs cover printer paper and fax machines, management and human resources, advertising campaigns, and the salaries of the accounting department. [...] For manufacturers, above-the-line costs are just another way of saying costs before operating expenses. These are likely to include the costs of raw materials, facilities, wages, and other expenses to manufacture the final product and deliver it to consumers. These costs are subtracted from sales to arrive at gross profit. Gross profit is the so-called line.

  BTL expenses are typically recorded on the profit loss statement after the operating profit line, hence the term "below the line." These accrued expenses do not directly affect the calculation of gross or operating profit.
