Explanation:
Official poverty lines in India are calculated based on the consumption expenditure needed to meet the basic needs and maintain a certain standard of living. Price levels, including the cost of essential goods and services, can vary across different states in India. Therefore, the official poverty lines may be higher in some states compared to others to account for the differences in prices and the cost of living.
