Dimensions: none; measures: value. Andhra Pradesh before 2014-15 is the undivided state, a separate series (Telangana was formed on 2 June 2014; 2014-15 straddles the split). Jammu & Kashmir to 2018-19 (with Ladakh) and from 2019-20 (the UT) are separate series; 2019-20 straddles the change of 31 October 2019."
