Another 3,000 families have assets worth Rs 1,000 crore; 13,000 families have wealth between Rs 200-1,000 crore; 23,000 households fall in the Rs 100-200 crore bracket; 2.94 lakh families have wealth between Rs 10-100 crore and another 4.12 lakh households own assets worth at a million dollars, or Rs 7-10 crore.
