7 Major Causes leading to Inflation in India

Industry
Major causes leading to inflation are as follows: Causes 1. Increase in money supply: Over the last few years the rate of increase in money supply has varied between 15 and 18 per cent, whereas the national output has increased at an annual average rate of only 4 per cent.Hence the rate of increase in output has not been sufficient to absorb the rising quantity of money in the economy.

This also happens when coolness in temperature in the atmosphere is caused by the abundance of trees, etc. Thus, I can rain only if…
