Data catalogue
Everything the engine can say comes from the datasets on this page. Each observation carries its source, dates, coverage, methodology, confidence and a reference into a raw extract that the build checks the value against; the build refuses a row missing any of them. Superseded files are kept unchanged and checksummed. The bundle the browser reads is published as index.json.

Adjustment datasets
Location differential · adjust-location v1.1.0 · ageing
Factor = average monthly earnings of urban regular wage/salaried employees in the state (PLFS 2023-24, Table 38, Apr–Jun 2024, person) ÷ the all-India urban figure (₹24,434). A city inherits its state's factor.
A state-level, all-occupation wage differential applied to a city and a profession: it captures the general wage level of the state, not the pay of any role, and a city like Mumbai or Gurgaon sits above its state average. Suitable as a coarse adjustment; not a city salary index. Source: Periodic Labour Force Survey — Annual Report 2023-24 (July 2023 – June 2024), effective 2024-06-30.

When a dataset is superseded, copy the old file to historical/ unchanged, add a row here with status "superseded", and record its checksum. Never edit a verified observation in place; add a new one with a later effective_date. Raw extracts are never edited; a corrected extract is a new file. Staleness: an observation is ageing after 18 months and stale after 30, measured from its effective date to the build date (2026-10-31). Historical files are checksummed in versions.json; the build fails if one changes.
