The percapita income of street vendors’ households is less than the percapita income of Indiaas well as Chandigarh. The economic status of mobile street vendors is relatively better than stationary vendors.

The maximum proportion of clientele of street vendors in Chandigarh, belong to lower and middle income groups, who are in favour of granting conditional license to street vendors.
