What kind of life can one live in India with an income of 60,000 rupees a month?

A monthly income of 60,000 rupees is considered a high income in India. Is it considered a rich person?

In India, a monthly income of 60,000 rupees is roughly equivalent to our country’s monthly income of 60,000 yuan. Really, you are definitely a rich person.

People with a monthly salary of more than 20,000 in our country only account for about 5% of the entire working class. As for the monthly salary of 200,000 yuan that people say, the monthly salary of 2 million yuan is even more paltry.

A friend asked, what is the salary like in India? Is a monthly income of 60,000 considered a high income? Can I live in a high-end residential area?

Of course!

In India, with a monthly income of 60,000, you are not only considered rich, but you can also live in a mansion and hire three or five bodyguards and nannies to take care of you.

This is simply not the working class, but the middle class.

Sorry, in India, if your monthly income is 60,000 rupees, you are not middle class, you are rich, and your bodyguards and nannies are middle class.

In Mumbai, a Chinese ordered a 30 yuan set meal, and the restaurant arranged a waiter to serve you until you finished eating. At our place, we give you 30 yuan directly and put it on the table for you, whether you like it or not!

Later, the Chinese guy went shopping again and found that as long as he spent more than 50 yuan, two nominal workers would be arranged to deliver the goods to your door. It would be a disaster if you saw a robber on the way for a 50 yuan valuable product.

Therefore, we can imagine how meager wages are for service staff in restaurants and shopping malls in India. Data shows that the monthly salary of these ordinary service personnel is often only 500 yuan.

Relatively speaking, the salary of manufacturing workers is relatively high, about 1,000 to 1,500 yuan.

The most profitable ones are software engineers in Jinling who change their destiny through knowledge. The highest salary can reach 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan per month. Equivalent to Rs 50,000.

Some friends don’t believe this. The Indian government stipulated the Minimum Wage Act as early as 1948. From the beginning, it stipulated that the daily minimum wage for workers ranged from 50 rupees to 90 rupees. By 1985, power was decentralized to the states. So far, in the richer states in southern India, the minimum daily wage for workers has mostly remained at around 100-125 rupees, while in poorer states such as Bihar, the daily minimum wage may not even be 50 rupees. The wages are not even met.

A daily wage of 100 rupees is 3,000 rupees a month, equivalent to 300 yuan. This level is really far lower than our expectations for India.

However, Indians are more persistent than any other country in the world about "raising workers' wages."

In March 2017, the Employees Provident Fund Organization of India proposed to increase the monthly minimum wage from 15,000 rupees (approximately 1,442 yuan) to 25,000 rupees (approximately 2,403 yuan).

During the same period, the minimum wage standard in Beijing, my country, was only 2,000 yuan, while the minimum wage standard in Shanghai, the highest in the country, was only 2,300 yuan.

So, when you see India’s minimum wage as high as it is, don’t think that Indians have already earned that kind of salary. In fact, India is the country with the best protection of labor rights among developing countries, but because of this, more and more employers choose to hire temporary workers with daily wages. Most workers in India cannot earn a monthly salary and can only live on daily wages.

Ordinary people in India are so miserable.

In one of Aamir Khan's shows, a maid mother ended up watching her child die of illness because she lacked 400 rupees to buy medicine for her child.

Another story says that a 5-year-old girl in India was sold by her father to a rich man as a maid for 50 yuan.

And this little girl works 17 hours a day and started learning to wash dishes, cook and wash clothes at a very young age. Her monthly salary is only 10 yuan.

India’s harsh minimum wage standards actually harm those workers who do not receive a good education and those children who have to become child laborers.

According to UNICEF statistics, there are approximately 28 million children under the age of 14 forced into labor in India. Child labor is common in India, even though children are required by law to attend school. But these laws are often ignored, and large numbers of children are forced to do difficult and dangerous jobs. Rupiah 60,000 is equivalent to RMB 6,000. This income is considered white-collar income in India.

India's current economic situation is roughly comparable to that of China in 2000. There are still many poor people and there are many homeless people.

The basic salary of assembly line workers in general factories is around 8,000-10,000 rupees. Including overtime wages, which are calculated on an hourly basis, it is about 50-80 rupees per hour. Generally, you can get 10,000-15,000 rupees a month. rupees, and each person also has to pay social security of 200 rupees every month.

The salary of civilian staff is approximately 12,000-15,000 rupees. Overtime wages of civilian staff are calculated on a daily basis, not on an hourly basis.

Furthermore, the salary of management employees is higher than that of other employees, and as managers, they are generally from high-ranking Indian races, at least they cannot be untouchables. Firstly, there is no one to obey untouchable management. Furthermore, Untouchables cannot be managers because they do not have the opportunity to receive higher education. The salary of management employees generally ranges from 30,000 to 60,000 rupees, and these people are generally well-educated people.

Then there are the wages of temporary workers at the bottom. These people are generally the untouchable class in India. They mainly do odd jobs, mainly doing housework, cleaning temporary workers, laboring on construction sites, etc. Their wages are generally paid on a daily basis, approximately 200-500 rupees per day.

Those with a salary income of 60,000 rupees are definitely considered white-collar workers in India. Unless you come from a good high-caste family with rich parents, of course, this kind of person is small compared to the total number of people in India. Most people who get a salary of 60,000 rupees don't save much every month. The basic living prices in India are similar to those in China, and the consumption patterns of Indians are not as varied as those of the Chinese. Where their money is spent is on food, clothing and renting a house. It’s not like us Chinese who eat late night snacks, buy luxury goods, play games, go to bars, etc. And what they eat is simple. Most people don't eat meat, so food costs are not expensive for them.

However, an Indian family is very large. If a person has a high salary, he may have to pay for the education of his brothers and sisters, or help a poor person in the family. Therefore, very few white-collar workers in India save money to buy a house. In India, if you earn a monthly salary of 60,000 rupees, then this person must be considered a middle class person.

The exchange rate of Indian rupees into RMB is about 1:10, so 60,000 rupees a month in India is about 6,000 RMB when converted into RMB.

So what kind of life can one live with such a salary in India?

First of all, this starts with India’s economy. India’s current economic situation is probably what our country was in 2000. Therefore, if we calculate based on the level of our country in 2000 and a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, then this level is at least a management white-collar worker, and the level in India is medium.

The current salary of low-level migrant workers in India is about 10,000 rupees a month, while that of management is about six times as much. This is actually applicable in our country. If we evaluate the average worker salary in our country, a worker's monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, and the management team is six times that, which means the monthly salary is more than 20,000 yuan, so it is also true.

Therefore, a person with a monthly salary of 60,000 rupees in India can definitely be considered a relatively comfortable type of person, and because India also has a system for people, generally speaking, people who hold management positions are A person from a high caste, or at least not from the lowest caste.

Therefore, the quality of life of a high-caste manager is actually very high.

But one thing that needs to be noted here is that Indians have very strong fertility. A normal Indian family has a lot of children, so in general it still needs to be seen whether there are many members in the family.

Because women in India generally do not engage in careers, and most of them take care of children at home, so if there is only one person working in a family, they also need to support a wife and several children. In this case, it will be a little tight.

The currency unit in India is rupee 60,000, which is approximately equivalent to about 6,000 yuan. It is not really a high salary in our country. Although 6,000 per month is not bad, it may still be considered a failure in the minds of many people, because there are still some people with a monthly salary of tens of thousands.

However, if you go to India, it will be a lot. If you go to India for 60,000 rupees a month, you are not only a middle-class person, but even a high-class person. With a monthly salary of 60,000 rupees in India, you can not only live in a mansion, but also be a servant and bodyguard. For service staff in ordinary stores and restaurants in India, their monthly salary is only about 500 yuan. Moreover, India has a large population, and there are many homeless people and unemployed people in India.

In fact, when we look at India now, we feel a bit like how people in developed countries looked at us. When China first started its reform and opening up, China's wage level was very different from that of developed countries in the world. I'm afraid the gap between China and India is even wider now. Of course, India is not without its rich class, because the gap between the rich and the poor in India is very large, and these rich people are much richer than the rich in China.

Another point is that Indians have a very strong sense of family, so even if there are people with high salaries, they still have to support their families after receiving their salaries. Poor people inside. Of course, even though their wages are so small, they don't have much to spend money on. Apart from the main things like eating, clothing and travel, they don't earn much money elsewhere. 60,000 Indian rupees = 5,994.2455 RMB.

The exchange rate of RMB to Indian rupee is more than 10, so 1 yuan can be converted into 10 rupees, and 10 yuan is 100 rupees. So, what can you do with 10 yuan in India?

Walking on the streets of India, you will feel that it is not much different from the domestic market. There is still a dazzling array of items, but the types of items are different.

India is still in the 2G era, but there are as many as twelve operators. Communication prices in India also vary but are usually 0.5 rupees per minute and international calls cost around 15 rupees per minute.

3G traffic in India costs about 326 rupees, and 10 yuan can make 204 minutes of calls in India, about 7 minutes of international calls, and can also be exchanged for 1G traffic.

In India, the number of people using cars is relatively small, but it is not non-existent. Only local wealthy people can afford to drive luxury cars, while the price of petrol in India is about 67 rupees per liter and diesel is 56 rupees per liter. In India, you can buy about 1.5 liters of gasoline or 1.8 liters of diesel for 10 yuan.

The price of Indian mangoes is 37 rupees per kilogram, and you can buy 3 kilograms with 10 yuan; Indian black watermelon is 15 rupees per kilogram, and 10 yuan can buy 7 kilograms; Indian potatoes are 20 rupees per kilogram, and You can buy 5 kilograms for 10 yuan.

Indian cabbage is the real "cabbage price", less than 10 rupees per kilogram, and you can buy more than 10 kilograms of cabbage for 10 yuan; carrots are more expensive, 50 rupees per kilogram, and you can buy it for 10 yuan to 10 kg.

In India, the most expensive fruit is apple, which costs up to 300 rupees per kilogram, but 10 yuan cannot buy two apples! Therefore, the people who can often eat apples in India are the local rich.

India’s tourism industry is not fully developed, but it does have many attractions.

However, there are many people at the bottom of India. Among the people walking on the streets of India, 70% or 80% live below the standard line, and a meal at a street vendor only costs a few rupees. I once ate in a luxury restaurant in India, and although I ordered a lot of dishes, it was less than 50 yuan.

The most common urban transportation in India is bus transportation and TaTa. There are also many taxis, which are more expensive. Horse riding is very popular in India.

In addition, Indians have the habit of tipping. When you check into a hotel, there will be an attendant to help you with your luggage, many of whom are girls. Waiters who serve food plates in restaurants and other places usually charge a tip, which doesn't need to be much, around 10 to 30 rupees, but it is a good amount of money for them.

To be honest, I really don’t know if a monthly income of 60,000 rupees is considered a local tycoon or a rich person.

However, I looked for information and found out that in the local area An income of 6,000 yuan in rupees is actually equivalent to our current monthly income of 60,000 yuan. Of course, think about how much money it will cost in a year. 6 times 12 equals 81. 810,000 yuan a year, is it considered a rich person? It must count. Now you don’t have many new people in 1981.

Think about it, my country’s latest national monthly salary data shows that the largest cities can actually have 20,000 people per month. In fact, it is not There are so many. Most wages fluctuate around 10,000 yuan. Of course, there are many places where there are some extremely high-income people with higher incomes. But we are talking about the general public, not a special group, so What we need to look at is the average salary, not the specific industry group.

Then we see that in China, those who earn 60,000 yuan a month are actually rich people. They can spend it as they want and buy at the same pace. Then in Tianzhu, what kind of treatment is it to earn 6,000 yuan a month? I can tell If you earn 6,000 yuan a month, you are indeed very powerful. Not only can you sing and dance every day, but you can also get close to various noble people, live in high-end residences, and have several servants following you.

Everyone knows this kind of ostentation, that is, the treatment of domestic rich people. Let’s take a look at some data, such as We are in Mumbai, a relatively large local city. If you order a set meal, the approximate cost of this set meal is about 39 yuan. You will see that the restaurant has specially arranged a waiter to serve you.

But if you are in Guangzhou and eat a 30 yuan set meal, well, you have to queue up to get it yourself.

For another example, if you go shopping locally and of course you spend 90 yuan, you will find that the merchant has arranged for two workers to carry your luggage. Yes, it is luggage, because for 90 yuan, you can I bought a lot of stuff locally. But here you will find that 90 yuan can't buy much.

Relatively speaking, it is a relatively profitable profession in the local area, a software that relies on knowledge to make money and change your destiny. Engineers can earn between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan per month. However, this kind of income is not particularly high for our country. As early as 1948, the government enacted the "Low Wage Law." Initially, it stipulated daily minimum wages for workers ranging from Rs 50 to Rs 90. Until 1985, power was transferred to the individual states. So far, the daily minimum wage for workers in the wealthy southern states has been around 100-125 rupees. Even in the poor state of Bihar, the daily minimum wage of 50 rupees is not reached. A daily wage of 100 rupees is 3,000 rupees per month, equivalent to 300 yuan. Such levels are well below our expectations for India.

This is how ordinary people feel.

In one of Aamir Khan's shows, a maid watched her child die because she didn't have 400 rupees to buy medicine for her child. Another story tells of a five-year-old girl who was sold by her father to a rich man as a maid for 50 yuan. The little girl, who works 17 hours a day, started learning to wash dishes, cook and do laundry at a very young age. Her monthly salary is 10 yuan. Harsh minimum wage standards are actually harmful to those who are not well educated and those who have to resort to child labor.

Finally, everyone, calculate your salary, where it is, how much income it is, are you rich?
