Interviewer instructions

Plinth level means the constructed ground floor level from the land ( at the main entrance of the building) on which the building is constructed. Plinth level of the building will be recorded against this item in codes.
If the ground floor is at the same level as the land on which the house stands, code 1 will be recorded against this item. It may be noted that plinth level of the building is to be recorded, even if the household is residing in a floor higher or lower than the ground floor. If the building consists of more than one structure, plinth level of the building will relate to the main ( in the sense of having greater floor area ) structure used for residential purpose.
