3. Increase in Income : With the increased income of the people, rises the demand for their goods and services and hence their price also increases.
4. Enhanced Taxation : With every year budget, the government imposes fresh commodity taxes, where the tax payers can easily shift the tax. It leads to increase in price of different commodities, which in turn push up their prices.
