Interviewer instructions
Column (6): credit agency: The agency from which a loan has been taken will be recorded in this column in codes as given below:
government…………………………………………..1
cooperative society………………………………… 2
commercial bank……………………………………..3
landlord……………………………………………….4
money lender - tribal…………………………………5
money lender - non-tribal…………………………….6
trader…………………………………………………..7
relatives & friends…………………………………….8
others………………………………………………….9
The codes are self-explanatory. However, it may be noted that the code for 'landlord' will be applicable only when the loan is given by a landlord to his own tenant. If the loan is taken from a person who belongs to landlord class but the borrower is not a tenant of that landlord, the appropriate code will be either 5 or 6 as the case may be. Again credit agency will be 'relatives and friends' only when a loan is received from a friend or a relative free of interest. If the loan bears interest 'it will be considered as taken from money lender, trader etc., depending upon the type of business carried out by the person.
