1 The base year is the year in which an index is set to 100. While computing macroeconomic numbers such as inflation or economic growth rates, indices are used.

2 To monitor prices, the statistical agencies of the government will choose a basket of goods, and set the value of this basket to 100, for a chosen base year.

3 Each time inflation is measured, the prices of the chosen goods are taken, and the current index value is computed and compared to the base value.

4 Assume the price of a basket of goods was `3 lakh in the base year, and was set to an index value of 100. Next year, if the basket cost `3.3 lakh, the index equivalent would be 110.

5 The inflation rate will be computed by comparing 110 which is today's value to the base value which is 100, resulting in a 10% increase.
