The lining cost in India is still so much less than Canada's for sure. A family of four can be doing very well in 50k even in cities. 50k in a town may save on rents in a big way. If someone lining in a village earns 50k every month, he's gonna save at least 40k.
In case you're not aware, the government provides 10kg wheat, 5kg rice every month to every individual whose family income is less than 100k or to everyone who doesn't pay taxes and hold a ration card. A packet of oil and pulses for the whole family is also one more thing. The government is actually doing this continuously since the pandemic. The number of people who are benefitted with this is 850 million.
Can you tell me, how much is 1kg Sugar there in Canada?
