Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
Since its inception, the National Sample Survey (NSS) had been collecting data on consumer expenditure in every round up to the 29th round (1972-73). After the 26th round of the survey, the Governing Council of National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) decided to undertake the surveys on consumer expenditure and employment and unemployment together once in every five years. Accordingly, programme of quinquennial surveys was conducted in the 27th, 32nd, 38th, 43rd, 50th and 55th rounds since 1972-73. Planners and research workers also felt the need for an annual series on consumer expenditure. The Governing council, therefore, decided that an annual survey on consumer expenditure would be undertaken on a thin sample basis in the intervening rounds between successive quinquennial rounds. The annual series started from the 42nd round (July 1986-June 1987). The present survey is the sixteenth of an annual series of surveys of household consumer expenditure. It was conducted during January to June 2004. In this round, two types of consumer expenditure schedules were canvassed. This is because 7 days reference period was recommended for items of edible oil, egg, fish and meat, vegetables, fruits, spices, beverages, processed food, pan, tobacco and intoxicants on the basis of results of 'Pilot Survey on Suitability of Different Reference Periods for Measuring Household Consumption (January - June 2000)'. Since the usual reference period for these items is 30 days, it is necessary to build up adjustment factors for comparing the estimates of earlier rounds. The two schedule types differ only in respect of reference period of these items. Schedule Type 1 uses 30 days reference period while Schedule Type 2 uses 7 days reference period. For all other items, the reference period used in Schedule Type 1 is the same as that used in Schedule Type 2.
The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been carrying out All-India surveys on consumer expenditure. While some of these smaller-scale surveys are spread over a full year and others over six months only, the quinquennial (full-scale) surveys have all been of a full year's duration. Household consumer expenditure is measured as the expenditure incurred by a household on domestic account during a specified period, called reference period. It includes the imputed values of goods and services, which are not purchased but procured otherwise for consumption. In other words, it is the sum total of monetary values of all the items (i.e. goods and services) consumed by the household on domestic account during the reference period. Any expenditure incurred towards the productive enterprises of the households is also excluded from household consumer expenditure. To minimise recall errors, a very detailed item classification is adopted to collect information, including items of food, items of fuel, items of clothing, bedding and footwear, items of educational and medical expenses, items of durable goods and other items. The schedule has also collected some other household particulars including age, sex and educational level etc. of each household member.

Block 1: Identification of sample household
Block 2: Particulars of field operation: The identity of the Investigator, Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent associated, date of survey/inspection/scrutiny of schedules, despatch, etc., has been recorded in this block against the appropriate items in the relevant columns.
Block 3: Household characteristics:
Characteristics which are mainly intended to be used to classify the households for tabulation has been recorded in this block.

Outline of sample design: A stratified multi-stage design has been adopted for the 60th round survey. The first stage units (FSU) are the 1991 census villages in the rural sector and Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. The ultimate stage units (USU) are households in both the sectors. In case of large villages/blocks requiring hamlet-group (hg)/sub-block (sb) formation, one intermediate stage has been the selection of two hgs/sbs from each FSU.
Sampling Frame for First Stage Units: For the rural sector, the list of Census 1991 villages (panchayat wards for Kerala) and Census 1981 villages for J & K constituted the sampling frame. For the urban sector, the list of latest available Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks was considered as the sampling frame.
Stratification
Rural sector: Two special strata will be formed at the State/ UT level, viz.
Stratum 1: all FSUs with population between 0 to 50 and
Stratum 2: FSUs with population more than 15,000.
Special stratum 1 was formed if at least 50 such FSUs are found in a State/UT. Similarly, special stratum 2 was formed if at least 4 such FSUs are found in a State/UT. Otherwise, such FSUs were merged with the general strata.
Urban sector: In the urban sector, strata was formed within each NSS region on the basis of size class of towns as per Population Census 2001. The stratum numbers and their composition (within each region) are given below.
stratum 1 : all towns with population less than 50,000
stratum 2 : all towns with population 50,000 or more but less than 2 lakhs
stratum 3 : all towns with population 2 lakhs or more but less than 10 lakhs
stratum 4, 5, 6,...: each town with population 10 lakhs or more
Total sample size (FSUs): 7612 FSUs were allocated at all-India level on the basis of investigator strength in different States/UTs for central sample and 8260 for state sample.
Allocation of total sample to States and UTs: The total number of sample FSUs is allocated to the States and UTs in proportion to provisional population as per Census 2001 subject to the availability of investigators ensuring more or less uniform work-load.
Selection of FSUs: FSUs were selected with Probability Proportional to Size With Replacement (PPSWR), size being the population as per Population Census 1991 in all the strata for rural sector except for stratum 1. In stratum 1 of rural sector and in all the strata of urban sector, selection was done using Simple Random Sampling Without Replacement (SRSWOR). Within each stratum, samples were drawn in the form of two independent sub-samples in both the rural and urban sectors.
There was no deviation from the original sampling design.
