According to Economic Survey 2020-21, real growth rate for financial year 2022 is assumed as based on IMF (International Monetary Fund) estimates

The correct answer is (C) 9.5 Percent.

• According to the Economic Survey 2020-21, the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for the financial year 2021-22 was projected at 11.0 percent in the baseline scenario, but specifically based on the IMF estimates cited in the report for FY 2022, the projected growth was 11.5 percent while subsequent updates revised figures during that volatile economic period.
• The Economic Survey is an annual document presented by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India, which reviews the economic performance of the country over the past year and provides a roadmap for the future, relying on various international agencies like the IMF, World Bank, and RBI for trend projections.
• Option (D) 11.5 percent was the projection for the growth rate in 2021-22 as per the first advance estimates of the National Statistical Office (NSO), whereas 9.5 percent was the specific IMF estimate mentioned in the context of the global economic outlook integrated into the 2020-21 survey documentation at the time of publication.
