he Worldwide Cost of Living report 2015 is a bi-annual survey published by the Economist Intelligence Unit, comparing 133 cities across the world on a basket of goods including food, drink, clothing, home rents, transport, utility bills, private schools, domestic help and recreational costs.

There is some cause for cheer as the cheapest cities in the world are from the Indian subcontinent. In fact, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai and New Delhi are among the ten cheapest cities in the list.

However, try not to get carried away, as this may not be cause for much celebration.

The most expensive city in the world, according to the survey, is Singapore, for the second year running. Famously pricey cities such as Paris, Zurich, Sydney and Hong Kong also feature at the top.
