- National income aggregates are classified as Domestic/National, Gross/Net, and Market Price/Factor Cost, giving 8 aggregates.
- Gross = Includes Depreciation
- Net = Gross − Depreciation
- Domestic = Within Domestic Territory
- National = Domestic + NFIA
- Market Price = Factor Cost + Taxes − Subsidies
- Factor Cost = Income received by Factors of Production
- NNPFC (National Income) is the best measure of national income.
- CBSE (post-2015) highlights GVA at Basic Prices and GDP at Market Prices instead of GDP at Factor Cost.

Basic Classification
National income aggregates are classified on the basis of:
- Domestic and National
- Gross and Net
- Market Prices and Factor Cost
Thus, there are eight basic national income aggregates.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
1. Gross Domestic Product at Market Prices (GDPMP)
- Market value of all final goods and services produced within the domestic territory during a year.
- Includes production by residents and non-residents.
- Being Gross, it includes Depreciation (Consumption of Fixed Capital).
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Gross Domestic Product at Market Prices (GDPMP)
GDPMP = C + I + G + (X − M)
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
2. Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost (GDPFC)
- Value of goods and services produced within the domestic territory measured at factor cost.
- Measures income earned by factors of production.
- Traditional aggregate.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost (GDPFC)
GDPFC = GDPMP − Net Indirect Taxes (NIT)
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
3. Net Domestic Product at Market Prices (NDPMP)
- GDP after deducting depreciation.
- Shows the net availability of goods and services after replacing worn-out capital.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Net Domestic Product at Market Prices (NDPMP)
NDPMP = GDPMP − Depreciation
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
4. Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost (NDPFC)
- Income earned by factors of production within the domestic territory after deducting depreciation.
- Also called Domestic Factor Income.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost (NDPFC)
NDPFC = GDPFC − Depreciation
OR
NDPFC = NDPMP − Net Product Taxes − Net Production Taxes
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
5. Gross National Product at Market Prices (GNPMP)
- Market value of all final goods and services produced by normal residents, whether in India or abroad.
- Includes Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA).
- NFIA may be positive or negative.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Gross National Product at Market Prices (GNPMP)
GNPMP = GDPMP + NFIA
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
6. Gross National Product at Factor Cost (GNPFC)
- Gross national product measured at factor cost.
- Measures factor incomes earned by normal residents.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Gross National Product at Factor Cost (GNPFC)
GNPFC = GNPMP − Net Indirect Taxes

CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
7. Net National Product at Market Prices (NNPMP)
- GNP after deducting depreciation.
- Measures the net output available for consumption and investment.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Net National Product at Market Prices (NNPMP)
NNPMP = GNPMP − Depreciation
OR
NNPMP = NDPMP + NFIA
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
8. Net National Product at Factor Cost (NNPFC) / National Income (NI)
- Sum of factor incomes earned by normal residents during a year.
- Considered the best measure of National Income.
CBSE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Formula: Net National Product at Factor Cost (NNPFC) / National Income (NI)
NNPFC = GNPFC − Depreciation
OR
NNPFC = NDPFC + NFIA
OR
NNPFC = NNPMP − Net Product Taxes − Net Production Taxes

CISCE: Class 12
CISCE: Class 12
Gross Value Added (GVA) Aggregates
| Aggregate | Relationship |
|---|---|
| GVA at Market Prices | = GDP at Market Prices |
| GVA at Basic Prices | = GVA at Market Prices − Net Product Taxes |
| GVA at Factor Cost | = GVA at Basic Prices − Net Production Taxes |
