| Year | World Bank | IMF WEO | Gap (WB − IMF) | Gap % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 3,167,270,623,260.47 | 3,090,875,000,000 | +$76,395.6M | **+2.47%** |
| 2022 | 3,249,938,492,013.47 | 3,257,327,000,000 | −$7,388.5M | −0.227% |
| 2023 | 3,500,906,030,644.76 | 3,511,702,000,000 | −$10,796.0M | −0.308% |
| 2024 | 3,760,813,470,500.86 | 3,759,774,000,000 | +$1,039.5M | +0.028% |

Unlike Brazil (gap always under 0.01%) or Argentina (gap under 0.11% except one
year), India's gap changes SIGN every single year in this four-year window, and
2021's gap ($76.4B, 2.47%) is an order of magnitude larger than any other
year sampled across the five countries checked in this lane. Neither source's
own metadata states which year it treats as a final outturn versus a
WEO-round estimate for India specifically — the size and direction of the gap is
not predictable from the pattern of prior years.

How observed: 2026-10-28T23:53:30Z, curl, keyless, both endpoints.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
