Using flare index data sets for solar cycles 21 and 22 we find that flare index and some solar activity indicators show a hysteresis phenomenon. It is observed that total sunspot area, mean magnetic field and coronal index follow different paths for the ascending and descending phases of the solar cycles while saturation effect exists at the extreme phases. However, we notice that the separations between the paths are not the same during the past two cycles of 21 and 22.
