Interviewer instructions
Whether or not the household belongs to scheduled tribe or scheduled caste will be indicated against this item in terms of the specified codes which are :

description code
scheduled tribe ............. 1
scheduled caste ............. 2
others ...................... 9


Those who do not come under any one of the first two groups will be assigned code 9 meant to cover all other categories. Neo-buddhists of Maharashtra and neighbouring states, however, will be given code 2. In case, different members belong to different household groups, the group to which the head of the household belongs will be considered as the 'household social group' and the group code appropriate for the head of the household will be assigned.
