Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on human health is multifaceted; increased mortality, morbidity and disability, reduced longevity, poor mental health and increased health spending. Using data from multiple sources, this paper examined the impact of COVID-19 on life expectancy, pre-mature mortality and disability adjusted life years (DALY) in India and four of its states namely, Maharashtra, Delhi, Kerala and Karnataka. Within one year of infection, the life expectancy at birth has reduced by 0.4 years in India, 1.2 years in Maharashtra, and 0.2 years in Kerala. If COVID-19 attributable deaths increase to 8% of total deaths, life expectancy at birth will likely to reduce by 1.4 years in India and 0.9 years in Kerala, respectively. With current infection by mid of May 2021, the premature mortality due to COVID-19 in prime working age group (20-64 years) has increased from 0.15 to 0.18 in Maharashtra, and 0.17 to 0.20 in Kerala. The DALY due to COVID-19 has been estimated to be 2.83, 9.66, and 2.22 per thousand in India, Maharashtra, and Kerala respectively. COVID-19 has increased premature mortality, YPLL, and DALY and reduced life expectancy in India
