Interviewer instructions
Since only proprietary and partnership enterprises are our concern, the codes for this item relate to those types of enterprises only. Proprietary enterprises are those where an individual is the sole owner of the enterprise. If the owner is a male, code will be 1; for a female owner, code will be 2. Partnership is defined as the 'relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any one of them acting for all'. Partners may be from the same household or they may be from different households. In the former case, ownership code will be 3 and in the case of the latter, code will be 4. Partnership may be based either on formal registration or on the basis of tacit understanding. However, ASI units of proprietary and partnership nature will be outside our purview. If ownership is with a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), the treatment will be same as proprietary enterprises, i.e, if the head of HUF is a male, code will be 1; for a female head, code will be 2.
