          <![CDATA[The All-India Debt and Investment Survey (AIDIS), which was carried out as part of the 48th round of the NSSO during the period January to December 1992, was the fifth such survey
conducted at the all-India level. Prior to 1971-72, two surveys viz. “All-India Rural Credit Survey” and “All-India Rural Debt and Investment Survey” had been completed in 1951-52 and in 1961-62 respectively by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for rural areas only. 



The reserve Bank of India (RBI) conducted, for the first time during November 1951 to August 1952, the “All India Rural Credit Survey” in 75 selected districts spread all over the country. The main objective of this survey was to study two aspects namely (i) the demand for credit from rural families and (ii) the supply of credit by credit agencies both institutional and non-institutional. The data were collected mainly for formulating  the banking policies. The design of the survey was not suitable for providing estimates of indebtedness at state and national level. The second such survey on rural “Debt and Investment” was conducted by the RBI in the year 1961-62 for obtaining etc. The third comprehensive enquiry in this series of decennial surveys was entrusted by the RBI to the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) and was conducted along with the survey on “Land Holdings” during the year 1971-72, as a part of the NSSO programme in its 26th round survey operation. In this round, the coverage of the survey was extended to the urban areas. Fourth such survey was conducted in the 37th round(January to December 1982) along with Land Holdings as per the ten years programme charted by the Governing Council. In the 48th round (January to December, 1992) also “All India  Debt and Investment Survey (AIDIS)” has been carried out along with “Land and Livestock Holdings”. The objectives of the AIDIS remain the same as those of the earlier surveys, namely, to obtain quantitative information on the incidence of indebtedness, capital formation and other indicators or rural/urban economy which will be of value in developing the credit structure in particular and also for obtaining other allied information required in the field of planning and development. Further since the survey is     kind of a repeat  survey of that of the NSS 37th round, it is considered necessary to plan the survey in such a way as to ensure, as far as practicable, comparability with the estimates of the various characteristics generated from the earlier rounds.]]>

          <![CDATA[Sample Design
A stratified two-stage sampling design was adopted for the survey with the first stage units as census villages for rural areas and the Urban Frame Survey blocks for urban areas. Households formed the second statge units in both rural and urban areas.

Sampling frame for first stage units(FSU's): 
In the rural sector, the sampling frame in most of the strata was the 1981 census list of villages. However, in Assam, where the 1981 census was not undertaken, and in a few districts of other states, where the available list as per 1981 census was incomplete, the 1971 census list of villages was used. In the urban sector, the sampling frames used in most cases were the lists of NSS Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks. However, the 1991 census house listing enumeration blocks were considered as the sampling units for some of the new towns declared as urban areas in the 1991 population census.

Stratification: 
Each state/union territory (u.t.) was divided into one or more agro-economic regions by grouping contiguous districts which are similar with respect to population density and crop pattern. In Gujarat, however, some districts were subdivided for the purpose of region formation on the basis of location of dry areas and the distribution of tribal population in the state. The total number of regions formed in the India as whole was 78.

In the rural sector, within each region, each district with a rural population of less than 1.8 million according to the 1981 census formed a single basic stratum. Districts with larger population were divided into two or more strata, depending on population, by grouping contiguous tehsils, similar as far as possible in respect of rural population density and crop pattern. In Gujarat, however, in the case of districts extending over more than one region, the portion of a district falling in each region constituted a separate stratum even if the rural population of the district as a whole was less than 1.8 million. Further, in Assam, the strata formed for the earlier NSS rounds on the basis of 1971 census rural population exactly in the above manner, but with a cut-off of 1.5 million population, were retained as the strata for rural sampling.

In the urban sector, strata were formed, again within NSS regions, on the basis of 1981 (1991 in some of the new towns) census population of towns. Each city with a population 10 lakhs or more formed a separate stratum by itself. The remaining towns of each region were grouped to form three different strata on the basis of 1981 (1991 in a few cases) census population. 

Allocation of sample: 
A total all-India sample of 6,812 first stage units (4,328 villages and 2,484 urban blocks) - determined on the basis of investigator strength in different states/u.t.'s and the expected workload per investigator - was initially allocated to the
states/u.t's in proportion to central field staff available. The sample thus obtained for each state/u.t. was then allocated to its rural and urban sectors considering the relative sizes of the rural and urban population with almost double weightage being given for the urban sector. Within each sector of state/u.t., the allotted sample size was re-allocated to the different strata in proportion to the stratum population. All allocations were adjusted so that the sample size for a stratum was at least a multiple of 4 for the rural and urban sectors separately. This was done to accomplish equal sized samples in each sub-sample and sub-round. The only exception was Daman & Diu for which the first stage rural sample comprised 2 villages only.

Selection of first stage units: 
The selection of sample villages was PPS (with replacement) with population as the size variable, in the form of two independent subsamples. The sample blocks were selected by simple random sampling without replacement, also in the form of two independent subsamples. 

Selection of hamlet-groups/sub-blocks:
Large villages and blocks were divided into a suitable number of hamlet-groups and sub-blocks, respectively, having more or less equal population content. Two hamlet-groups were then selected from large villages, whereas only one sub-block was selected from the large blocks. The hamlet-groups were selected circular systematically and the sub-block with equal probability. 

Selection of households: 
Two different procedures of selection of households were used for the rural and urban sectors. Different procedures for the two sectors were necessary,  since in the rural sector schedules of enquiry for LHS survey and Debt & Investment survey were required to be canvassed in two separate sets of sample households, while in the urban sector, both the schedules were to be canvassed in the same set of sample households.

In the rural sector, nine households were selected from each sample village/selected hamlet groups. For selecting a sample of nine households, each sample village/hamlet group was sub-divided into 7 AIDIS sub-strata on the joint consideration of “land possessed” and “indebtedness status” of the households; first, all the households of the sample village/selected hamlet groups were divided into four LHS sub-strata by area of land possessed by them. Households possessing either no land or land less than 0.005 acre were grouped in substratum 1. The rest of the households were
then arranged in ascending order by area of land possessed and classified into three substrata, 2, 3 and 4, such that the total area of land possessed by the households in each of the 3 sub-strata was nearly the same. Each of the LHS sub-strata 1 and 2 was further divided into “indebted” and “not indebted” groups to form AIDIS sub-stratum 1 to 4. AIDIS sub-strata 5 to 7 are formed by first merging LHS substrata numbers 3 and 4 and then sub-divided by the merged group into 3 classes, viz., (a) indebted to institutional agencies with or without being indebted to non-institutional agencies ( b) indebted to non-institutional agencies alone and (c) not indebted. Independent sample of size 1,1,1,2,1,1&2 were selected circular systematically from the AIDIS sub-strata 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 respectively 

In the urban sector, a sample of 9 households was selected from each sample urban block/sub-block. The households of a sample block/sub -block were classified into 7 AIDIS sub-strata, considering the monthly per capita consumption expenditure (mpce) and indebtedness status of the households. For this, the households were first grouped in three mpce classes, viz., less than A, A to B and B & above. The cut-off points A and B were determined at the state-level on the basis of mpce obtained from the survey on consumer expenditure, NSS 43rd Round, such that the mpce classes, below A, A to B, and B and above, respectively constituted 30 p.c, 60 p.c, and 10 p.c. of the urban population of the state. These mpce classes were further sub-divided by indebtedness status of the households to form 7 AIDIS sub strata. Independent samples were selected circular systematically from each of the sub-stratum. The number of households was selected from sub-strata 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2 & 1. 

Sample size: 
In all, the survey covered 57,031 households spread over 6,650 sample villages/blocks.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[Household
A household is a group of persons who normally live together and take food from a common kitchen. However, a boarding house, a hotel or a hostel is treated as a cluster of households, where each individual boarder forms a separate household. If, however, a group of persons among them normally pooled their income for spending, they together are treated as  constituting a single household. Barracks of military and paramilitary forces, orphanages and vagrant-houses are excluded from the scope of the survey.

Household size: 
The size of a household is taken to be the number of members normally residing in it. This size includes temporary stay-aways but excludes temporary visitors and guests of the household.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

However, if on the date of survey, the plot is owned jointly by members of two or more households, the share of area owned by the sample household, in terms of percentage to the total geographical area, will be recorded in col.(4) (nearest whole number) and the actual area owned by the sample household in acres up to two places of decimal in col.(5). For example, if a plot of 5.00 acres is owned equally by four brothers belonging to four different households and if one of them is selected for the survey, the entries in cols.(4) and (5) for the sample household will be 25 and  1,25 acres respectively. Cols.(4) and (5) and (7) will remain blank if no area of the plot is owned by the household on the date of survey but some area of the plot has been disposed of during 1.7.91 to the date of survey.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

          <![CDATA[The household may not have any loan  outstanding on the date of survey. But, it may have repaid some loans during 1.7.91 to date of survey during the first visit and 1.1.92 to date survey during the second visit. It is also possible that the household has some outstanding loan on the date of survey and also has repaid fully some other loans(not the loans already recorded against items 2 and 3) during the reference  period. Information to be sought against item 4 relates to the loans whose final repayment was made during the reference period and no amount of those loans remains outstanding on the date of survey. In some situation, it is possible that household takes a second loan from the same source, say provident fund, before the first loan is fully repaid and the amount of the first loan is so adjusted that the amount borrowed from the second loan gets inflated by the amount unpaid on account of the first loan. In all such cases, the second loan will be considered as outstanding on the date of survey, while the first loan will be treated as repaid fully during the reference period.]]>

          Sometimes to provide debt relief to farmer and others, the government agencies, banks etc. exempt the household from repaying a loan fully or partly and consider such loan as cleared up. Whether any loan other than those recorded against items 2,3,5 and 6 is written off during 1.7.91 to date of survey in the first visit and 1.1.92 to date of survey in the second visit will be ascertained and recorded against item 7 in terms of codes : yes-1, no-2.

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

          <![CDATA[This column will be filled in for all loans entered in block 17.2. In the case of a loan secured by mortgage of immovable property, i.e. if the entry in col. (13) is '5', one of the codes 1 to 4 representing different types of mortgage will be entered in col. (14). If    the loan is received without mortgaging any immovable property, code '5' should be recorded in col. (14). The mortgage may be of the following types:

	(i)	SIMPLE MORTGAGE:	In simple mortgage, the mortgagor (i.e. the person who mortgages the property) retains the ownership and possession of the property mortgaged. Code '1' will be entered for simple mortgage.

	(ii)	USUFRUCTUARY MORTGAGE:		In usufructuary mortgage, the ownership of the property remains with the mortgagor but the possession vests on the mortgagee (i.e. the person to whom the mortgage is made or given). 	Income from the property accrues to the mortgagee and the mortgage is terminated as soon as the full amount is realized. Code '2' would be given for this type of mortgage.

	(iii)	MORTGAGE BY CONDITIONAL SALE:	 It is the type of  mortgage by the execution of which the ownership and possession of the property vests with the mortgagee and a sale deed is executed. The property is returnable to the mortgagor only on termination of the mortgage (i.e. on the full recovery of  loan). 	Code '3' will be given for this mortgage. 

	(iv)	OTHER  TYPE OF MORTGAGE:	Any type of mortgage different from the above three or any combination of those will be recorded under this category. Code '4' will be given to this type of mortgage.

	(v)	NO MORTGAGE:	Loans for which no mortgage is necessary will be 	recorded under this category, code '5' will be given for no mortgage in col. (14).]]>

Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

A household is a group of persons who normally live together and take food from a common kitchen. However, a boarding house, a hotel or a hostel is treated as a cluster of households, where each individual boarder forms a separate household. If, however, a group of persons among them normally pooled their income for spending, they together are treated as  constituting a single household. Barracks of military and paramilitary forces, orphanages and vagrant-houses are excluded from the scope of the survey.

Household size: 
The size of a household is taken to be the number of members normally residing in it. This size includes temporary stay-aways but excludes temporary visitors and guests of the household.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

          <![CDATA[The household may not have any loan  outstanding on the date of survey. But, it may have repaid some loans during 1.7.91 to date of survey during the first visit and 1.1.92 to date survey during the second visit. It is also possible that the household has some outstanding loan on the date of survey and also has repaid fully some other loans(not the loans already recorded against items 2 and 3) during the reference  period. Information to be sought against item 4 relates to the loans whose final repayment was made during the reference period and no amount of those loans remains outstanding on the date of survey. In some situation, it is possible that household takes a second loan from the same source, say provident fund, before the first loan is fully repaid and the amount of the first loan is so adjusted that the amount borrowed from the second loan gets inflated by the amount unpaid on account of the first loan. In all such cases, the second loan will be considered as outstanding on the date of survey, while the first loan will be treated as repaid fully during the reference period.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

(13) is '5', one of the codes 1 to 4 representing different types of mortgage will be entered in col. (14). If    the loan is received without mortgaging any immovable property, code '5' should be recorded in col. (14). The mortgage may be of the following types:

	(i)	SIMPLE MORTGAGE:	In simple mortgage, the mortgagor (i.e. the person who mortgages the property) retains the ownership and possession of the property mortgaged. Code '1' will be entered for simple mortgage.

	(ii)	USUFRUCTUARY MORTGAGE:		In usufructuary mortgage, the ownership of the property remains with the mortgagor but the possession vests on the mortgagee (i.e. the person to whom the mortgage is made or given). 	Income from the property accrues to the mortgagee and the mortgage is terminated as soon as the full amount is realized. Code '2' would be given for this type of mortgage.

	(iii)	MORTGAGE BY CONDITIONAL SALE:	 It is the type of  mortgage by the execution of which the ownership and possession of the property vests with the mortgagee and a sale deed is executed. The property is returnable to the mortgagor only on termination of the mortgage (i.e. on the full recovery of  loan). 	Code '3' will be given for this mortgage. 

	(iv)	OTHER  TYPE OF MORTGAGE:	Any type of mortgage different from the above three or any combination of those will be recorded under this category. Code '4' will be given to this type of mortgage.

	(v)	NO MORTGAGE:	Loans for which no mortgage is necessary will be 	recorded under this category, code '5' will be given for no mortgage in col. (14).]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>

        <![CDATA[An important feature of the NSS sampling design is that  the total sample of first stage units is drawn in the form of two  or more independent and parallel samples, termed as interpenetrating sub-samples. Each sub- sample is  drawn by the same sampling scheme and is capable of providing valid estimates of the population parameters. The comparison of sub-sample wise estimates shows  the margin of uncertainty associated with the combined sample estimate. 
 
Interpenetrating sub-samples have been used in NSS (i) to obtain valid estimates from each sub-round (season) of the survey  round, and (ii) to ensure that Central and State samples for any State/ UT cover independent and equally valid samples of units. 

The samples surveyed by the NSSO staff are termed as Central sample and the matched samples surveyed by State Government staff are termed as State sample.]]>
