The following research paper takes a look at Indian income inequality problem in the broad contours of human development, regional development, and sustainable development apart from the GDP. It also demonstrated the potency of information technology, finance, and telecommunications on GDP and at the same time, the importance of agriculture in creating employment. Regional differences are also very prominent with southern and western states showing higher per capita income and better facilities than the northern and eastern states. Consideration is given to how environmental sustainability, inflation, unemployment and education, and health care have influenced or will influence unidentified income inequality. The study discovers that the income distribution of the country reveals that 10 percent of the population possesses more than 70 percent of the total income and thereby contributes toward increasing the economic and social disparity. The policy suggestions entail revenue reform, the use of taxation that is progressive, UBI, education investment, and subsidizing of healthcare, labor market policies, and financial access. The paper uses the concept of successful stories from other countries to compare and recommend policies that can be employed that address issues related to income inequality and promote equity in India's economic development framework
