  Using three rounds of NSS datasets, the present paper attempts to understand
the relationship between income inequality and intergenerational income
mobility (IGIM) by segregating generations into social and income classes. The
originality of the paper lies in assessing the IGIM using different approaches,
which we expect to contribute to the existing literature. We conclude that the
country has low-income mobility and high inequality which is no longer
associated with a particular social class in India. Also, both may have a
negative or positive relationship, hence needs to be studied at a regional
level.
