What is the Cost of Living in India?
The cost of living usually varies from city to city. On an average, an intern would need around Rs. 10,000 – Rs. 12,000 (around 250 US $ – 300 US $) to economically. This is usually what is paid by different local companies at the LC level. So, with regards to the salary, it should be sufficient as you will be receiving Rs. 22,000 per month before tax deduction. The house rent is about INR 3200-4000 depending on location. An extra INR 500-600 is needed towards maintenance and shared commodities.
It is more expensive than I thought. Bangalore is a very expensive Indian city. For example, classic Indian restaurants are very expensive like kerala or Tamil nadu, and at pubs and bars now you have to pay the entrance (between 200 rupees and 400 rupees) just to take a beer. -What do you think about the Indian people? White people pay twice the price. This is the philosophy in this place. For the rest, there is no real problem. -What are the positive and negative aspects of living in India? What I like most about living and working in India is the sense of tranquility. People are friendly and helpful. The climate in Bangalore is excellent. What I do not like is the lack of discipline of the people and the way in which they try to do things with a short-term objective. The road sense of most people is appalling. It takes a lot of patience to live in India. -Do you have any favorite Web sites or blogs about living in India?
