limited to the attributed MoSPI aggregate under its public reproduction policy.
Rent: Magicbricks, NoBroker, and Housing.com sources were
rejected because the available material did not meet the required combination of
municipal geography, 1BHK configuration, furnishing/property detail, stable
method, dates, and reuse permission. Public access alone is not permission to
republish proprietary listing data.
Essential Living Costs: no eligible range was found. State
consumption estimates and individual prices remain reasonableness context only.
They are not combined into a synthetic Mumbai budget.
The complete review is recorded in the project's Mumbai evidence note. A later
source must pass the same coverage, provenance, permission, freshness, and expiry
checks before it can seed a result.
