Interviewer instructions

Plinth level means the 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 the plinth level will be 0.00 metre 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 metre then 3 will be recorded. Here ' plinth' refers to the foundation base of a house.
