    The document outlines B. Prasad's method of social classification and an updated modified Kuppuswami method of social classification for individuals in urban areas in 2019. The method classifies individuals into five socio-economic classes based on their scores in three areas: education, occupation, and monthly family income. Higher scores in each area indicate higher levels of education, more prestigious occupations, and higher income. The total score is used to assign the individual to one of the five classes, from upper class (class I) with scores of 26-29 to lower class (class V) with scores below 5.
