I'll give an introductory idea: In Microeconomics a consumer's well-being or how better off he is, is measured by his utility function. Utility function is a function of those variables that influence his well being i.e. consumption of goods/services that increase his well-being. His utility can be maximised subject to his money income with which he can buy the goods that maximise his utility. After finding the optimal consumption bundle using calculus, we find them to be functions of the exogenous variables such as Prices and Income. This must hold true because as Prices of goods rise, we consume less of that commodity and substitute it by the other good. Similarly as Income rises for normal goods consumption of both rises by the same proportion.
After knowing the above, we come to the Income and price consumption curves. Income consumption Curves (ICC) are locus of those points that connect the optimal consumption of goods as income changes (ceteris paribus) in a Good x Good framework, when you choose to draw it in a Good x Income framework you get the Engel Curve. Similar is the Price consumption curve, which is the locus of points connecting commodity consumption against price changes of a particular good (ceteris paribus) in a Good x Good framework.
the main difference in these is this that when price of any of commodity (x,y) decrees but the budget remain same it will show price consumption curve and when income increase and the price of commodities (x,y) remain same it will show the Income consumption curve.
Formulas are: Disposable income = consumption expenditure + savings - support of others; Discretionary income = Gross income - taxes - necessities. Although denotatively wrong, disposable income is commonly used to denote discretionary income.

The income that is not used for consumption is called disposable income
Its the same I think :)
the difference between income and consumption
consumption is that money who you consume on any thing and the consumption function is that relation who tell you the consuming level on your every money income level.
the main difference in these is this that when price of any of commodity (x,y) decrees but the budget remain same it will show price consumption curve and when income increase and the price of commodities (x,y) remain same it will show the Income consumption curve.

there is no difference.

The income tax act focuses its concern on total income and the income tax rule focuses on which types of income are taxable. That is the biggest difference between the two.
Its the same I think :)
income consumption curve is the collection of points of the consumer's equilibrium resulting from varying income.....
The definition of a Normal Good is: a good that will increase in consumption as income increases and decrease in consumption as income decreases.
