Answer

The Bay of Bengal branch of the monsoon which enters India from the northeastern side, gradually sheds its moisture as it advances westward. By the time it reaches the northwestern part of India, it doesn't have much moisture left. Hence, rainfall decreases from the east to the west in Northern India.
