Interviewer instructions

Plinth level means constructed ground floor level of the house from the ground at the main entrance of the dwelling unit. If there is a basement that is, some floor area below the ground level, then code 1 will be recorded. In case there is no distinction between level of the ground (i.e. land) and the level of the lowest floor then plinth level will be 0.00 meter and code 2 will be recorded against this item. If the level of the lowest floor is higher than that of the ground (land) i.e., more than 0.00 meter then code 3 will be recorded. Here 'plinth' refers to the foundation base of the house.
